Beet + White Bean Dip & Zucchini + Cashew Hummus

Oops…it’s been a while. We inadvertently took the summer off, but we are in fact alive and kickin. We clipped this recipe from Self magazine months and months ago; the ripped out page survived this summer’s apartment move, and was finally put to the test at our June ladies book/wine club. These dips are colorful, tasty, require only a single step for prep, and can be made a day ahead if you’re entertaining. Plus, beets give you antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detox support.
