Hummus is one of those things that I could eat everyday, it’s just so tasty! I love it as an afternoon snack to dip my vegetables in, as a salad topper and in one of my favourite lunch time wrap recipes. Making your own literally takes seconds, just pop the ingredients in a blender and you’ve created a healthy and delicious dip that can be used in so many ways. This beetroot and white bean dip is an homage to hummus, a little different but still so simple to make.
Anyone else a beetroot fan? Beetroot is such a beautiful vegetable, that pink hue that it gives everything is pretty amazing. I’m yet to bake with it yet, but one of my favourite ways to use it by mixing it with some beans, a squeeze of lemon juice and some grated garlic. This incredibly simple dip only contains 5 ingredients, but it’s so full of flavour and of course packed with lots of lovely protein from the beans.
- 1 tin of cannellini beans butter beans or soya beans
- 2 beet roots
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
Pour all of the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.
Stores in the fridge for up to a week.
Great for any last-minute guests that you have over and want to serve them something a little different and perfect if you’re all out of hummus and need something to serve with your crudites, but don’t want to be a slave to the kitchen.
Little ones love this dip and it’s an easy way to get more vegetables into their diet, they just adore that bright pink colour. Another bonus is that it’s packed full of protein from the white beans, you could use cannellini beans, soya beans or butter beans, whatever you’ve got in your cupboards. Either way, making your own dips is far healthier than shop bought and it couldn’t be any easier.
I love betroot, not just for the colour but it’s lovely earthy sweet flavour. This dip looks gorgeous.
Thanks Kavey! You just can’t beat that earthy flavour!
I can say with complete honesty that I have never eaten beetroot in my life… Not really sure why… Might have to give it a go… This could work well with our movie night Doritos. 🙂
Yes, it would make a lovely veggie based dip.
I love beetroot! So good. Have your used pre-cooked ones here? I make a similar dip with butterbeans and beets!
Yes, precooked ones from the tin, which makes it even simpler to make. 🙂
I’m not a massive beetroot fan but I love the colour of the dip.
Oh, perhaps this could be the recipe to convert you?
Love easy peasy dips like this! Such a stunning colour too – I really need to use beetroot more often.
I love that colour too, so pretty and vibrant.
I love beetroot so much, it’s one of my favourite flavours. This dip looks so delicious and great for afternoon snacks.
Thanks Angela! I do love it for afternoon snacks to dip my veggies in.
OOhnow as someone who doesnt like white beans on their own, this sounds like a good way to use them and I adore beetroot x
You can’t even taste them in this, it’s all about the beetroots.
I don’t often make my own dips at home but this one looks fab! x
Thank you! It’s so easy to make your own.
This beetroot white bean dip looks so deliciously healthy and you show my fav crackers. I am hungry looking at these images. Beetroot is a staple in my home, Now to get those white beans 🙂
Another beetroot fan, yay!
I love beetroot and in summer often boil my own to add to salads, this is most definitely something I would try, yum, love a good dip 🙂 x
I am seeing quite a few recipes using beetroot lately. I’ve never tried it, but I am quite curious to do so after hearing such good things about it. It really does give such a lovely pink colour to everything you use it in. This dip looks really delicious and I love that it is just full of protein, so healthy x
It is quite a popular vegetable to try and put a new twist on as I think not many people know how to use it.
I’ve never had this kind of dip before but it looks delicious! I might try and make it for my Super Bowl party this weekend.
Oh fab! Let me know what you think.
I actually have like 5 cans of cannellini beans and butter beans to use up so it would be perfect for this dip. thanks for the tip x
This would be the perfect way to use some of them up.
Hummus seems like a healthy snack I could happily have more of. This recipe sounds lovely – like the idea of controlling the salt and sugar content by making it yourself x
Exactly! That’s one of the best things about making your own dips.
I absolutely love the colour of the dip although I’ve never properly got into beetroot x
It has a great sweet earthy flavour. The colour is fab!
I love beetroot and this looks seriously tasty!! I’m going sugar free for a month and this will make a yummy and healthy snack! I’m making this at the weekend!
Good luck with your challenge. Do let me know what you think if you give it a go.
I love hummus, thinking that you can mix it with Beetroot may have to give that a try, now hungry for pitta bread and hummus hehe
Whoa that dip looks so cool. I would really enjoy that
This dip looks so delicious and healthy to boot! I am going to pin this and give this a try!
Mm this looks delicious! I’m definitely going to have to try this with carrots.
I bet carrots would work a treat!
This sounds so heavenly – I love beetroot. I’m definitely bookmarking this recipe.
Yay! Thank you. 🙂
Beetroot I think is one of the prettiest ingredients to use when creating dishes. I love the vibrancy of the colour!
I love beetroot! I just had some for my breakfast. This dip looks so good!
Wow! What did you serve it with?
Wow. What a unique combo. I would never have thought to beans and beet root. Beets are so healthy but messy to prep but I might have to give this a try. Thanks for the recipe.
