Beetroot & smoked garlic dip

This is a revelation to me.... I love snacking and love Beetroot. It's a superfood packed with antioxidants so I thought of a way to incorporate both!

You will need: (makes 5 servings)
3 cooked & peeled Beetroots (you can buy the pre cooked if you don't fancy the mess)
1 clove of smoked garlic (I bought this from Morrisons, if you can't get any normal garlic will suffice)
1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
1 sprig of mint
1 1/2 tbsp of tahini (a sesame paste, available from most supermarkets)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper
Hand blender

Stick it all in your hand blender & whizz until smooth.
Season to taste
Serve with carrot or celery sticks or use in a wrap with a filling of your choice!
