Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups plain low-fat yogurt, drained to 1 1/2 cups
8 small beets
1 large garlic clove, crushed with
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp fresh strained lemon juice
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 pinch sugar (optional)
1 sprig fresh mint (to garnish )

Directions:

Drain the yogurt to 11/2 cups: Line a strainer w/a coffee filter, add yogurt & set aside about 1 hour.
Cut off all but 1 inch of the beet stalks and leave the roots intact. Rinse the beets well but do not peel. Cook the beets in boiling salted water until tender, 25 to 35 minutes. Drain, slip off the skins under cold running water, and cut away the root ends and stalks. Coarsely grate the beets, using the shredding disk of a food processor or the large holes of a hand grater (latex gloves are recommended for the latter or you'll look like an axe murderer!).
Combine the garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the beets and yogurt and blend well. Taste and add a pinch of sugar if desired. Transfer to a serving dish, cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint just before serving.
