By Mrunal | Updated: 06/02/2019

The red-coloured beets, cooked and chilled, and blended with yogurt, dill, and lemon, make for a bright, perfectly balanced summer bowl. Lemon-dill ice cubes provide a cooling garnish for this soup on a hot day. You can roast or boil the beets before use. The ice cubes should be made five hours before serving and can stay up to 4 days.
