Put the beetroot in a bowl, drizzle with 2 tsp oil, season well and set aside.
Put the cucumber in a sieve set over the sink and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Tip the cucumber into a bowl and stir in the yogurt, garlic and half the dill. Season with pepper and mix well.
To serve, spread the tzatziki on a large platter. Top with the beetroot, 1 tbsp oil, the parsley, remaining dill and the pine nuts. Serve with flatbreads, if you like.
