Instructions

  1. Grate or mash the cooked beets finely and place them in a bowl.
  2. Add in the yogurt, salt and garlic. Stir together until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to combine.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with chopped walnuts and parsley.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought cooked beets or cook them from scratch. To cook beets, wash them thoroughly and place them in a pot. Fill the pot with water until it covers the beets by 2 inches. Turn the heat on to medium high and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour until they are fork tender.  Turn the heat off and let them cool completely. Then peel them and use them as instructed in the recipe. 
  • I recommend using whole milk yogurt for this recipe because of the flavor and creamy texture. However, it's possible to use low-fat yogurt or even dairy-free yogurt as long as its plain and not flavored. 
  • If going for a milder taste, use 1/2 tsp garlic powder instead. 
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Give it a good stir before serving. 
  • You can make this beet dip up to a day in advance.
