Ingredients

300 grams (10.6 oz) boiled or steamed beetroots, cut into 1 cm pieces

150 grams (9 tablespoons) Greek yogurt

50 grams (1.7 oz) goat cheese

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

40 grams (2 small) green onions, finely chopped

1½ tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1⅓ teaspoon fresh spearmint or dill, minced

Instructions

  1. To cook the beetroots, remove stems and leaves, rinse the bulbs, and place in a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 30-40 minutes until tender. Cool in cold water, peel, and chop into 1 cm pieces.
  2. For the dressing, blend Greek yogurt, goat cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine vinegar in a small food processor until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cooked beetroot, yogurt mixture, and green onions. Stir well to combine.
  4. Mix in parsley and spearmint (or dill) and stir again to combine.
  5. Refrigerate the dip for 3-4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled, as a dip with crackers, pita, vegetables, or as a spread or side dish.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt and goat cheese with plant-based yogurt and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
  • Add minced garlic to the dressing for extra flavor.
  • Substitute spearmint or dill with fresh basil or cilantro for a different flavor.
  • Top with crushed walnuts or almonds for added crunch.
  • This dip is best served chilled but can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge.
