My thoughts:
Beets have been so good this season, I couldn’t resist turning some into dip for pretzels and vegetables. I actually love pickled beets on Greek yogurt so that was my inspiration. The dip is creamy yet tart and pretty healthy so you don’t feel bad serving it and calling it a “side dish”.
Interesting dip combination! What kind of pretzel dippers are those?
Snyder's I think. They are called dippers actually.
Thanks!
