I’m sharing two new recipes with you today, the first being this gorgeously pink cream cheese beetroot dip which goes perfectly with the second recipe – homemade pitta bread crisps. This simple beetroot dip has just 3 ingredients and takes just a minute or two to make – it couldn’t be easier! It’s makes a great accompaniment for a platter of crunchy vegetables, both for party food or for a quick and healthy snack.
You could pack this yummy dip up for lunch boxes too – the added fun of dipping makes vegetable sticks instantly more attractive to children and grown-ups alike! Kids will love the vibrant pink colour of this beetroot dip, and best of all, it’s completely natural, not a drop of food colouring in sight!
