The beet flavor (if not the color) in this dip is very subtle, with a nutty edge from walnuts and walnut oil, concentrated sources of fat and flavor. Pair with crunchy crudités.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°.
Step 2
Leave root and 1 inch stem on beet; scrub with a brush. Wrap beet in foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 35 minutes. Add walnuts and garlic to pan. Bake 7 minutes or until nuts are toasted. Cool 10 minutes. Trim off beet root; rub off skin. Cut beet into quarters.
Step 3
Place garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped. Add beet, and process until very finely chopped. Add walnuts, lemon rind, and remaining ingredients. Process until smooth.
