3 large beets
5-6 ounces French or Bulgarian feta
juice of half a lemon , zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, extra for serving
1-2 small garlic cloves, worked into a paste with a mortar and pestle

Wrap beets in aluminum foil and roast them at 425 for 35-45 minutes until soft.  Allow to cool, rub off skin.  Cut beets into chunks and place in a food processor with remaining ingredients and puree in a food processor and blend until smooth. Serve dip with seasonal crudité and enjoy!
