Hummus holds a special place in our hearts (especially since it’s good for our hearts…), but there are only so many days in a row you can dip your veggies in it.
It gets old, and variety is one of the keys to a healthy diet, anyway.
Enter this beet dip, a creative alternative that’s also rich in protein and flavor is just made for crudite.
Use canned beets to make it super easy; Use steamed to make it super fresh.
