There is this great cafe, Sofra, owned by the famous Ana Sortun, near my house, and it has a wonderful mezze bar. I often stop by on my way home to get a "pre-dinner snack" from the bar's many selections, like hummus, muhummara, or skordalia which they'll put on a platter for you to eat with crackers or pita. One of those mezze dips that particularly love and always get is their beet tzatziki. It is not only delicious but a beautiful color. The only downside to this dip --- it is quite expensive to buy. So I decided to make up a recipe for my own, and, if I do say so myself, it worked out even better than I expected.Thanks for the inspiration Sofra!
