Ok so I really think I must be obsessed with taking photos of commercial dips in the supermarket and coming home and just ‘winging’ it to see if I can make it for a fraction of the price and having no additives or preservatives in it! This is now the tenth one that I've done! mmmm clearly I have an obsession with eating dips too! :) I love how the dips can take two seconds in the Thermomix to blitz, it is just awesome! :)

Ingredients
- 100g (approx.) fresh beetroot, unpeeled
- 1 garlic clove, unpeeled
- 50g plain yoghurt
- 30g parmesan cheese, cubed
- 10g lemon juice
- 10g olive oil
- 70g cashews, unsalted
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ¼ teaspoon coriander, ground
- ¼ teaspoon cumin, ground
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 180°C.
- Place beetroot and garlic onto a baking tray and roast 45 mins.
- Once beetroot has cooled, peel and quarter (use disposable gloves!) and place into TM bowl. Squeeze out garlic from clove.
- Add remaining ingredients and chop 1 sec / Turbo.
- Scrape down and repeat until desired consistency.
- Enjoy dip with crackers!
If you need to avoid nuts for whatever reason, this dip is still very yummy without the cashews.

Do your dips freeze I have so much fresh beetroot at the moment
thermofun says
Judith they sure do! I've frozen many and haven't yet found one that does not freeze well. :)
Liz says
Do you use roasted or raw cashews?
thermofun says
Liz I use roasted and unsalted. Enjoy!
Amy says
LOVE this dip. My daughter can't have dairy so I used Tahini in place of the yoghurt, upped the lemon juice to 15g to make up for lack of tartness due to no yoghurt and I added the parmesan last after I had taken my daughters portion out.
Yum! Thank you!
thermofun says
Thanks Amy - love your tweaks to make it DF! :)
Megan says
This was lovely!! I added a bit more yoghurt and oil and it was so divine. Perfect with some camembert cheese for extra indulgence!! :) Thanks for sharing! x
thermofun says
Thanks Megan pleased you enjoyed it. If you like camembert cheese make sure you try White Costello Cheese! mmmm my favourite and it's quite similar to camembert. :)
Kat says
Thank you Kate! I also made it with raw beetroot and dairy free. I added dulse flakes and dairy free yoghurt.
I think children would love it! Very yummy!!
Next time I will try yeast flakes instead Dulse flakes for a change.
Thank you for all the recipes, loving my thermomix, I am a new user.
Dairy- and gluten free for me only.
Kate says
I made this with fresh, raw beetroot (It is far too hot here today to turn the oven on!) and it turned out lovely.
I don't think I'd even bother roasting it next time, it was so good!
Thanks for all the great dip recipes - I am having major pregnancy cravings for dips! LOL
