Prepare the beet; if needed, boil for 8 to 18 minutes until tender and drain.
Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt until smooth.
Mash the vegetable and combine it with the sauce, adjusting salt and acidity in the same bowl.
Spread on a serving plate, drizzle with oil, and rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
💡 Tip: Blending the beet with tahini after it cools gives the spread a smoother texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Spread in a shallow bowl and let the beet color show through the tahini surface.
