Imagine something silky smooth sliding down your throat. And, swim into a world of pure bliss.

This vegan and paleo-friendly dip is a game-changer, dispelling any doubts that plant-based food can’t be flavourful and colourful. It’s the perfect accompaniment to grilled veggie skewers, Mediterranean platters, or pita chips.

What inspired me:

My love for this recipe was sparked during a family trip to Athens, Greece. We had just explored the iconic Acropolis and were enjoying a meal at an al fresco restaurant. The combination of roasted beets and sesame seeds was a revelation – and I knew I had to recreate it.
