Recipe Instructions:

2.5 cups greek yogurt (I use 0.5% which works just fine)
1 teaspoon salt
1 head minced garlic (or less if you don't love garlic as much as I do)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large beets (probably a bit more than one pound)
1 handful of fresh mint, chopped

Directions
Mix together the yogurt and the salt. Let it drain in a coffee filter for a few hours.
Add olive oil and garlic and a bit of pepper (depends on your preference).
Shred the beets roughly and just before serving add them to the yogurt mixture as well as the mint.
