can you use store bought pre-cooked beets?
Yes! You can use pre-cooked packaged beets; however, the color of the dip will not be as bright. It will be more of a muted color.
You won't have a bright colored dip, but it will still taste delicious.
If you are going to use store bought pre-cooked beets, I really like Love Beets. They are really tasty without any added ingredients.

how to cook the beets
You can steam the beets, but I prefer to roast them.

First, I clean the beets and then wrap them in tinfoil.

The beets are baked at 400 F until tender. The cooking time will vary on the size of the beets. Usually it takes at least an hour. Sometimes a lot longer if the beets are really large.

Once the beets are cooked, let them cool. Then cut off the peel and roughly chop.
For a bright note, I really like to use lemon juice and zest. The lemon juice adds acidity to the dip, helping to balance out the flavors.
Soaked cashews create a creamy and luscious dip. Cashews are so versatile, especially when it comes to cooking vegan recipes.
can you make the dip ahead of time?
Yes! You can definitely make the beet cashew dip ahead of time.
It'll last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
This dip is great for meal prepping. I'm obessed with these Ello glass containers. They are perfect for meal prepping.

I hope that you enjoy this lovely beet and cashew dip as much as I do! It's become a staple in my house.
