What you need to make this nutty dip + ingredient swaps

  • Raw beets – for this recipe you use raw beets. I have also made this with golden beets, and the flavor is essentially the same, but I much prefer the color of this dip with the deep purple beets. 
  • Garlic – I know you normally measure garlic with your heart, but this is raw garlic – so go easy! 
  • Lemon juice – you can use fresh lemon juice or bottled – whichever you have. 
  • Olive oil – use any oil of choice. If you are oil free, I would leave it out altogether – your dip just may be more crumbly. Nothing wrong with that. 
  • Nuts and Seeds – I love the combo of cashew, pecan, sliced almonds, and sunflower but feel free to use the nuts and seeds of your picking. The seeds really add to the flavor so if you can – keep them. You can even add raw pumpkin seeds.

How to make raw beet nut dip in less than 10 minutes – and zero cooking

For this recipe, you need a food processor ( I have this one). 

Working with beets can get a bit messy, and I highly suggest using some gloves with you chop the ends off, and peel your beets! 

Once the beets are peeled, and rough chopped, and the garlic is minced, your prep work is done! 

  • Pulse the nut mixture and set that aside. 
  • Add the beets, garlic, lemon, and oil into the now empty food processor jar, and pulse. 
  • Then, add the nut mixture back into the beets, and give a quick pulse until combined. 
  • Salt your dip to taste. 
  • That is it!

How to serve your dip

  • I have been known to use a 2 compartment container and load up one side with beet nut dip, and the other side with cucumbers. That is my ultimate favorite way to scoop this dip. 
  • A soft cheese such as feta is a really great topping for a dip like this! You can even add some of the nuts you used in your dip, right on top. 
  • Crackers and pretzels are a great, crunchy way to scoop up this dip, too!
