Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- As with all recipes, taste and adjust the seasonings to your preference. You may want an other drizzle of maple syrup or vinegar, depending on that sweet/tangy balance. And don't be shy with the salt.
