Directions for: Beet and Carrot Dip

Ingredients

1 large beet, washed and trimmed

2 medium carrots

cup sour cream (125ml)

cup crumbled feta cheese (125ml)

1 green onion, chopped

1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh dill (15ml)

1 tsp orange zest (5ml)

1 tsp orange juice (5ml)

tsp salt (2ml)

tsp freshly ground pepper (1ml)

tsp prepared mild horseradish (2-4ml)

Directions

1. Place the beets in a microwaveable dish, cover tightly, and microwave on high for 7-8 minutes. Carefully add the carrots to the dish and cover again. Microwave on high for 3-4 more minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Let stand for 10-15 minutes, or until cooled slightly.

2. Peel the skin from the vegetables. Pulse beets and carrots in a food processor with the sour cream, feta, green onion, dill, orange zest and juice, salt and pepper, until smooth.

3. Divide the beet dip into 2 equal portions. Add horseradish, to taste, to the adult portion. Serve dip with your favourite crudits or breadsticks.

Makes 2 cups/500 mL

Tip: Snap Peas, cauliflower, broccoli and celery would be excellent crudits choices for the beet dip.
