Healthy wholesome vegan raw beetroot dip with 3 different variations that is quick and easy to make.
I’m a huge fan of beetroot and typically would eat one a day. This beautifully rich colored root vegetable is full of goodness and I have fond memories of my grandmother often eating raw grated beetroot with some cream. So simple yet very tasty.
I love beetroot many ways, but eating it raw is the one I love the most. This is how I would normally eat it, grate it, add a tone of garlic and a few different ingredients depending on what I have in my pantry. Any of these dips are so quick to whip up and perfect for a quick snack or addition to your lunch or dinner.
So here you have it 3 simple and quick ways to eat beetroot. I make the tahini version the most often because I always have some in the fridge, but all of them are great I promise. I tend to just finely grate the beetroot by hand, but feel free to use a food processor.
You can get really creative with these recipes, add different ingredients and find the one that you love the most. The crackers you see in the pics are my new recipe that’s coming up in the next post:) In the meantime check out my Parsnip and Thyme Grain Free Crackers or Buckwheat and Rosemary Crackers recipes, both equally amazing. Enjoy!

How gorgeous and colourful!! This post really brightened up my morning. I was keen to make this today after seeing these beautiful pics on your blog and remembering just how delicious it was when you first introduced me to the delights of this dip… but I can’t do everything and today was banana bread day. So, tomorrow I’ll give it a whirl… Thanks again for the lovely wholefood inspiration! X
Dear Teresa, thank you for such a lovely comment. It made my day and I am so pleased that you find my post and pictures inspiring! xx

Totally, so good together!!! x
Such a gorgeous colour! The tahini one is calling my name…
Thank you Aimee, I find it really tricky to take photos of beetroot, I tried my best! The tahini one is my favourite:)
Hi Hana, I made your beetroot and tahini dip earlier: so yummy! I had a tiring day of treatment and this dish really cheered me up. I made your buckwheat and rosemary crackers too which also made me very happy :-) I used a really nice sprouted whole buckwheat flour and they were delicious. Thank you my dear friend! Txxx
Hi Tee, I’m so happy you’ve enjoyed the dip and the crackers, I knew you would!!! Thank you for your lovely comment:) Sending much Love!!! Hxxx
A beetroot a day! You must have super healthy blood! I love beetroot too but can’t always think of ways to use it – these dips are a beautiful and simple way to incorporate more goodness into my day :) x
I hope so, it’s intentional! They really are quick and simple enough to add to your meals:) xx
Made the one with Yoghurt, added a teaspoon of horseradish to it absolutely fantastic.
Oh wow, I love the idea of adding horseradish, must be amazing! Getting myself some soon:)
Lovely dips and beetroot is so… heartwarming, satisfying, I am goi g towards oat crackers though as I feel,the snowy winter of the highlands are in my mind with this,
I love how you’re getting all poetic, I absolutely adore beetroot, you’re talking my language :)
This dip was so yummy! I made the tahini beet one and mixed it all in the blender – delicious! It’s especially nice with quinoa and roasted chickpeas :) Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much Sam for coming back and leaving me such a wonderful comment! So happy you loved it :)

Thanks so much for the great beetroot dip recipe, I made the one with sunflower seeds.
The addition of avocado made it creamy….also a dash of oat milk!
We have loads of beets growing, so will be using this recipe a lot.
Thanks again it was delicious.
