Dishing Up the Dirt

Beet Tzatziki

Please let me introduce you to your family’s new favorite dip! This beet tzatziki is bursting with flavor and is the perfect thing to have on hand for snacking or as a side/dip for meat and grilled veggies. My kids love this vibrant pink dip and I love all the farm fresh ingredients that go into it.

Over the years I’ve made traditional tzatziki with our farm fresh cucumbers, however it never occurred to me to swap in beets until my mother-in-law brought home a beet tzatziki from her favorite cafe years ago. It’s been almost a decade since I first tasted a beet tzatziki and I’m so happy to have it back in rotation.

I hope you and your kiddos love this as much as we do. It pairs well with crackers, raw veggies, cooked lamb, beef, chicken or fish. Through it in a pita wrap or in a grain bowl!
