1 tbsp    finely sliced green onions   15 mL
1⁄2 tsp   salt or to taste   2 mL
1⁄4 tsp   freshly ground black pepper 1 mL
     or to taste  
1⁄2 cup   diced cooked beets or   125 mL
     drained canned beets   
     Finely sliced green onion tops   

1.   Stir yogurt in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir in potatoes, onions, salt and pepper. Cover and chill well before serving. (Can be refrigerated for up to
