Beet Cashew Dip Recipe

Need a break from ho-hum-hummus? Say no more! This Beet Cashew Dip will delight your tastebuds and make you wanna eat more veggies!
Jun 15, 2016 | Joy McCarthy

As you may have noticed, I've been on a beet kick lately. Walker and I enjoyed the Beet Strawberry Muffins as a mid-afternoon powersnack last week. And this week we've been enjoying this incredibly delicious dip beet cashew dip. Vienna LOVES it too as you will see in my video. 

The reason I decided to create this recipe (aside from my love affair with beets) is because the beet dip in my book Joyous Health has been such a hit. But the problem is that not everyone can enjoy it because it has dairy in it, goat cheese actually. This recipe is dairy-free. I simply replaced the goat cheese for cashews.

So my love affair with beets continues... 

Since I love this recipe so much, we decided that we should make a recipe video for you. I've been slacking on the videos lately but it's not as easy to find time to film these days as it was before Vienna. The plan was to film this video while Vienna was sleeping. However, that didn't work out because she took a shorter nap than usual. So this is why there is a warning at the beginning of my video that you may hear baby screams, haha! It's just the reality now, Vienna is always with us so she should might become a regular in my videos. :) 

Back to this dang tasty dip.... This dip tastes lovely all on it's own or with some sliced cucumber or crackers.  Here's the recipe video and the recipe ingredients and instructions are below. Remember, I warned you! This video contains baby content. lol.

Thank you! The recipe looked so tempting in your book but with my lactose intolerance I didn't dare try!

Great dip. Love beets and always looking for something new to try with beets. Vienna is very entertaining as well.

Do you know about calories for this recipe?

This a very tasty, healthy and filling dip! It's fatty so it's easy to overeat it. Cashew also make the dip pricy. I will try to find a healthy filler for this dip (chickpeas, maybe...) so it was cheaper and less calotype dense so I could eat a LOT of it:)

Hi there! Did the beets stain your blender/food processor? Thanks!

Hi Joy: wondering if you measured the amount of beets? I have 4 medium juicing beets, one big mamma beet and am not sure how many to use. I’ll try to go by consistency as I start blitzing it unless I hear back. It sounds delish. I’m hosting a baby shower and making this, among other recipes, and another recipe for a vegan cheese ball. I thought pink hummus would be great for a baby girl shower.

I made it on Saturday for my daughter’s baby shower on Sunday and it was a hit! Everyone stood around it eating it with crackers and veggies. Thank you. Looked so good for a baby girl shower being pink and all....Making sexy maca balls today for a talk she is giving to her patients tonight!

Hi Joy How do I roast the beets. As it seems from your video they are in a pot covered with a bit of water ? Isn’t that more steaming them or no? And I hope I can use a blender as I don’t have a processor tnx

Looks delicious. Just wondering if I could use canned beets (already peeled) as opposed to the fresh ones? Thank you
