Instructions
- Grate or mash the cooked beets finely and place them in a bowl.

- 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.
