Made With

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (34 medium) fresh beets, scrubbed clean and tops trimmed 
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pickled beets, drained

  • ½ cup Frigo® Crumbled Blue Cheese

  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

  • 2 tablespoons tahini (or substitute roasted sesame seed paste)

  • 12 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

In the base of a food processor fitted with a blade, pulse together the fresh beets, pickled beets, Frigo® Crumbled Blue Cheese, tahini, parsley, garlic and lemon juice and zest. Pulse together until the mixture is finely chopped. Then, scrape the sides of the food processor and start to drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil, pulsating and scraping the sides each time olive oil is added. Blend until the mixture comes together into a puree.

Serve with fresh vegetables, crackers, vegetable chips or corn chips.  

Enjoy!
