Roasted Beet Spread

I love a beet salad. On a recent trip I ordered a beet salad only to be surprised that instead of chunks of beets in the salad they had been ground up and spread beneath the salad. I thought this was such a great presentation and had to recreate it at home. I made this spread with greek yogurt and goat cheese and it is not only great underneath a salad but also as a dip! Plus the color is extra impressive! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • Two medium beets
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 6 ounces goat cheese
  • two garlic cloves
  • juice of 1/2 lemon

Method

  1. Heat oven to 400
  2. Wrap the beets in tin foil and place on baking sheet
  3. Roast for 1 hour or longer until tender
  4. Let cool for 10 minutes and then peel skin off
  5. Quarter beets and place in blender with other ingredients
  6. Blend until a consistent spread forms
  7. Use as a dip or plate with a salad on top
