BEETS TZATZIKI

This is a Middle Eastern side dish that I have come to love and that I order everytime I go to a local restaurant. It is one of my favorites on hot summer days. I make it to accompany grilled meat or to simply eat with a salad or as a dip with pita bread.
Some supermarkets sell beets already cooked, making this Tzatziki really easy to make.

For this dish you will need:

1 to 1/2 cups of shredded boiled beets
ground pepper
1 tbs of freshly chopped dill
1 tbs olive oil
1 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
1 clove of finely chopped garlic
1 tsp of salt
2 tsp of fresh lemon juice

Combine the lemon juice, garlic. salt, yogurt, olive oil, dill and pepper.
Shred the beets with a cheese grater and add to the yogurt mix.
Serve cold.
