Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium russet potato
- 1 cup blanched almonds
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon beet juice (for color, optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potato into small chunks. Boil in salted water for 10–12 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Place the blanched almonds in a blender or food processor. Blend until a fine meal forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the boiled potato, lemon juice, garlic clove, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, and sea salt to the blender with the almond meal.
Blend the mixture, gradually streaming in the olive oil and water while the blender is running, until a smooth and creamy dip forms. Pause to scrape the sides, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
For an authentic pink hue, add the optional beet juice and blend until fully mixed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
Transfer the Vegan Taramosalata to a serving bowl. Serve chilled or at room temperature with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
