Barbie Pink Dip

Inspired by the new Barbie movie (everyone is obsessed I know!) I whipped that one up yesterday because I had leftover beetroots and oh my... Sooooo moreish! This dip is extra smooth and combined the acidity of balsamic vinegar roasted beetroots, with tangy feta cheese and the comforting softness of butter beans perfect for the apéritif

FAST nutritional FACT

Beetroots contain Folate (aka B9 vitamin). - Folate is essential for making red and white blood cells in the bone marrow and to produce DNA and RNA. - That is why it is a key vitamin during pregnancy, infancy and adolescence!
