Mandarin & Beetroot Dip

This dip is sure to impress at any dinner party. Its refreshing taste makes it a very versatile side, and it goes brilliantly with sliced up veg in the summer. Most pre-made dips are high in sugar and sodium, making them a definite no-go area for the health-conscious foodie. However, this recipe makes a healthy and delicious alternative.
