This Healthy Dip Trio Is Perfect For Any Party You Throw This Fall

Check out these three dips below for a healthy, quick, and vibrant snack to add to any party platter. These recipes are so easy, you'll never want to venture to the supermarket for readymade dips ever again.

This dip has a rich, dense consistency due to the skins of the edamame, yet it is balanced with a creamy mouthfeel from the avocado. The cilantro and zesty lemon give it a fresh and aromatic flavor profile. You should make extra because this will go fast. It's a good source of plant protein as well as vitamin K and folate. Garlic provides an excellent source of sulfur, which is essential for the production of one of the most potent detoxifying and anti-inflammatory compounds in the body, glutathione.

Pulse all ingredients (except water) together in a food processor. Add water 1 tbsp. at a time to desired consistency.

This absolutely gorgeous beet dip has a slightly coarse texture and a flavor profile that is flavorful, earthy, and slightly sweet from the roasted beets and garlic. It's satisfying and nicely balanced by the combination of cannellini beans and fresh sage. This dip is full of powerful compounds called betalains that act as strong antioxidants and give beets their beautiful color. It's also a good source of potassium and protein and is rich in vitamin C and fiber.

Preheat oven to 400F. Place cubed beets and garlic on a baking sheet and toss with oil. Roast for 20 min. Pulse all ingredients together in a food processor. 

This perfect-for-fall dip has a texture that is silky and creamy with a slight, nutty crunch from the chopped pecans. The flavor is sweet and creamy, and cinnamon adds a wonderful kick. It's rich in vitamin A and is a good source of potassium and probiotics. I love Kite Hill yogurt because of its velvety texture from homemade almond milk and the same culturing techniques used in dairy yogurt. This dip is perfect with seasonal fruits like apples and pears, or you can add it as a healthy topping to your breakfast pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal! 

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Adjust seasonings (cinnamon) as needed. Mix in chopped pecans.
