Roast Beetroot, Onion and Macadamia Dip is great tasting and healthy alternative to those store bought ones which are often packed full of preservatives and additives. Gluten, dairy and preservative free

I have been wanting to create a dip involving beetroot, onion and macadamia for quite some time now.

I am a fan of having crackers and dip (with a glass of white wine) on a Friday or Saturday afternoon (sometimes both), but am sick of finding dips that are packed full of preservatives and additives.

It was time to create my own!

This dip goes really well with either my Rosemary + Sesame Seed Crackers or my Paleo Crackers and is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free.

Enjoy
