Ingredients

• 2 medium red beets
• 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the beets thoroughly and trim off the greens, if attached. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Allow the beets to cool enough to handle, then peel them. The skins should slide off easily.

Step 5

Chop the peeled beets into large chunks and place them in a food processor.

Step 6

Add the Greek yogurt, peeled garlic clove, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the food processor with the beets.

Step 7

Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 8

Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.

Step 9

Transfer the beet spread to a bowl and stir in the chopped fresh dill.

Step 10

Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 11

Serve chilled with sliced vegetables, crackers, or warm bread.
