Beet Tahini Dip

I had a revelation recently. A revelation in the form of this delicious, neon purple (magenta?), creamy beet tahini dip. Oh my word… I wanted to shmear it on everything and dip everything in it. It’s THAT good. For those beet lovers out there (Welcome, I am the President of the Beet-Lovers-Club) and for those who have a shaky relationship with beet alike, this is a must try. With just 5 ingredients and 10 minutes, you too can enjoy this incredibly easy, delicious and stunning dip. Did I mention gluten free and paleo if you care about those things? Yup. 🙂

Creamy Vegan Beet Tahini Dip

You might think of beetroot as the vegetable you tried to avoid as a kid, but it’s making a comeback, and rightfully so. You probably already know that beets are healthy (high in fiber, Vitamin C  and anti-inflammatory) but let’s appreciate it for more than just being a healthy food. It has an earthy, fruity flavor unlike any other vegetable I know. So I know you’ve probably had beets recently in salads, with yogurt, or just plain roasted. But why not try this easy dip to make the beet the star of the show!

Warning: this beet tahini dip might replace hummus as your favorite go-to it’s so good! Or serve it alongside the hummus… or get real crazy and swirl it in! 🙂 In any case, I’ll get off my beet soapbox now and back to using two hands to dunk my crackers into this *looks down*. So come on, why don’t you try it too? 😀
