TZATZIKI

1 English cucumber
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 cup plain whole-fat yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice

BEET HUMMUS

15 oz can chickpeas, drained, 2 tablespoons liquid reserved
1/2 cup pickled sliced beets
1/3 cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove
A good pinch sea salt

CRUDITES

Sugar snap peas
Radishes
Cherry tomatoes
Baby bell peppers
Sliced cucumber

To make the tzatziki:

Grate the cucumber & place into a small mixing bowl. Add the salt & stir to combine; let sit for 10 minutes – this is for the salt to draw out excess moisture from the cucumber.
Combine mint, garlic, yogurt & lemon juice in a medium bowl. Squeeze the water out of the cucumber using your hands; add to the yogurt mixture. Mix well, spoon into a serving bowl or a sealed container if you’re planning on eating the dip later.

To make the beet hummus:

Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. Add a tablespoon of water if the hummus is too thick. Scrape into a serving bowl or a sealed container if you’re planning on eating the dip later.

To assemble the crudites platter:

Place the dips on a serving platter or board & arrange the vegetables around them. Serves 4 to 6.
