Beet Dip


Prep time:
10 MIN

Yield:
16 Servings

Serving Size:
2 Tablespoons
Ingredients:
- 2 cans (14 ounces each) beets, drained or 3 cups cooked fresh beets
- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons sesame tahini (optional)
Directions:
In a blender or food processor, combine beets, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and tahini, if desired. Blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water or beet juice.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes:
Serve with carrot, celery or jicama sticks.
Make a chunky version if you don’t have a blender or food processor; mash beets with a potato masher or fork to desired consistency. Add remaining ingredients and water or beet juice if needed.
