    I am a fan of having crackers and dip (with a glass of white wine) on a Friday or Saturday afternoon (sometimes both), but I much prefer to have homemade dips that are free from additives and preservatives and made with amazing ingredients.

    This roasted beet dip is one of my faves to enjoy and is super easy to make just like this Chunky Guacamole and also this Simple Five Minute Hummus.
