Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Beetroot
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the beetroot thoroughly, pat it dry, and wrap it in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroot on a baking tray and roast it in the oven for 40 minutes or until it is fork-tender.
Remove the beetroot from the oven and allow it to cool until it can be handled comfortably.
Peel the skin off the cooled beetroot (it should slide off easily) and chop it into small pieces.
In a food processor, combine the chopped beetroot, Greek yogurt, garlic clove, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the pink dip to a serving bowl and, if desired, garnish with fresh dill.
Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature with vegetable sticks, crackers, or pita bread.
