This vibrant beetroot, chickpea and almond dip is a striking addition to any mezze platter or starter course. The earthy sweetness of the beetroot pairs perfectly with the creamy texture of the chickpeas and the subtle nuttiness of toasted almonds. High in plant-based protein and rich in colour, this nutritious dip is a sophisticated alternative to standard shop-bought hummus, offering a fresh, zesty flavour profile thanks to a touch of red wine vinegar.

Perfect as a healthy snack or an impressive appetiser for entertaining, the dip can be prepared a day in advance to allow the flavours to develop. Served with homemade seasoned pita crisps, it provides a satisfying crunch that complements the velvety smooth texture of the vegetables. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a wholesome, high-protein recipe that does not compromise on taste or presentation.
