Beet Dip With
Himalayan Pink Salt Veggie Sticks

By: Dana Halsey

I love hummus as much as the next person, but sometimes you just need something a little different. You feel me? This beet dip is so easy. It tastes light, fresh and equal parts sweet and salty. The best part? All you have to do is add the ingredients into a food processor and blend.

Served with LesserEvil Himalayan Pink Salt Veggie Sticks and your choice of vegetables, this dip is the perfect switch up when you need a quick side dish that isn’t hummus!

Ingredients

• 1 bunch small beets (peeled and chopped, can use raw or cooked)
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup Greek Yogurt (can sub plain unsweetened coconut yogurt to make dairy-free)

Instructions

1. Add beets, walnuts, lemon juice, maple syrup, red pepper flakes, garlic and salt into a food processor. Puree on high until the beets and nuts are completely broken down. Scrape down the sides and then blend again to make sure the mixture is smooth. Add the olive oil, yogurt, and salt and pepper and blend again until fully combined.
