Steps:
- In a blender (or food processor, they work equally well) combine the roasted beets, walnuts, garlic, vinegar and maple syrup. Blend to combine.
- With the blender running, drizzle in the olive oil. Season dip with salt and za'atar, if using. Blend into a smooth paste. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (see note).
- At this point, the dip can be transported to an air tight container and kept, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
- To serve: partially fold in the sour cream to the dip. I like to marble the red and the white colours instead of completely combining them. Spoon into a shallow bowl with plenty of surface area.
- Drizzle the dip generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with dill and black pepper. Finish with flaky salt. Serve with crackers or pita and cut vegetables.

BEET MUHAMMARA
A brilliant red-purple take on the Middle Eastern dip made with walnuts and peppers. We used red beets but Chioggia beets would also make a spectacular dip.

Steps:
- Puree nuts, beets, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, Aleppo pepper, and molasses in a food processor until combined, about 30 seconds. Stream in oil; puree to a coarse but even texture. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 days. Serve, topped with more oil and cilantro, with radishes alongside.
BEET DIP WITH LABNEH
This recipe for a delicious raw beet dip comes from Botanica, a vegetable-focused restaurant in Los Angeles run by Emily Fiffer and Heather Sperling. The recipe is easy - throw everything into the blender raw - though it requires a little time for the blades to break down the beets with walnuts, olive oil and a few other aromatics. Fiffer and Sperling cleverly adapted the dip from muhammara, the Middle Eastern spread made from red peppers. Using beets creates another dish altogether, but one that tastes bright, sweet and earthy. Serve it with a dollop of labneh, as well as warm pita and quartered Persian cucumbers for dipping, and generously drizzle everything with olive oil and crunchy salt.

Steps:
- Put the beets, whole walnuts, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, chile flakes, garlic and salt into a food processor or blender. Purée on high until beets and nuts are finely chopped. Scrape down the sides, and blend again, until the mixture gets slightly smoother. Add the olive oil, and blend again, scraping down the sides, until mixture forms a coarse purée. Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and additional lemon juice, if desired.
- Spoon labneh into a bowl, smoothing it, then heap the beet dip on top. Top with a generous drizzle of olive oil and chopped walnuts; grate some lemon zest on top. Serve with pita and cucumbers for dipping.
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are deep red in color and have smooth skin. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the beets before using them: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and sweetness. To roast the beets, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the beets into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the beets for 30-40 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the dip: A food processor or blender will help you to create a smooth and creamy dip. Add the roasted beets, walnuts, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to the food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve the dip with your favorite accompaniments: Beet and walnut dip can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as crackers, bread, pita chips, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Beet and walnut dip is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create a dip that you and your family will love.
