Easy and Delicious Beetroot Dip Recipe

For those new to the group, I’m Mike’s sister, Lexie. I’ve been helping Mike over the years with More Life Health and this year, with my youngest having started school, I have a bit more time on my hands so you will see me here more often.

At the end of last year, Mike wrote a fantastic article on blood pressure, “Everything you need to know about Hypertension”. (You can find it here: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HYPERTENSION)

For those who have read it, you may recall the one vegetable that stood out among all for its effects in helping to reduce blood pressure and that is the humble beetroot. Well today, I want to share with you some ways to add more beetroot to your diet…

Roasted- Beetroot is wonderful when roasted. Cut it up and add some to your other veggies next time you have a roast dinner.

In salads- Simply grate it and add it to your salad for vibrant colour and added nutrients.

In Spaghetti Bolognese- I know it’s going against tradition, but beetroot adds a delicious sweetness to Spaghetti Bolognese. Simply grate it (I usually use about 1 cup for a serving for 4 people) and add it when you add your tomato passata.

As a snack, condiment or spread- Here is an easy beetroot dip recipe that you can use as a condiment, as a snack with veggies or crackers or as a spread on a sandwich or toast. I hope you enjoy it.

Do you eat beetroot? What are some ways you enjoy eating it?
