--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2          teaspoons  fresh lemon juice
  1           teaspoon  finely chopped garlic
  1           teaspoon  salt
  1 1/2           cups  drained yogurt -- or greek-style yogurt, or labne
  1         tablespoon  extra virgin olive oil

  1               cups  cooked shredded beets -- (1 to 1 1/2)
 
Combine the lemon juice, garlic and salt in a bowl and
let stand 10

garlic. Stir in
the yogurt, olive oil, dill and pepper to taste. Fold in

Sortun recommends Chioggia (pink) or golden beets; you
can use red beets
but the salad will be a shocking pink.
