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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Place the blanched almonds in a blender or food processor. Blend until a fine meal forms, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Add the boiled potato, lemon juice, garlic clove, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, and sea salt to the blender with the almond meal.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

For an authentic pink hue, add the optional beet juice and blend until fully mixed.

Step 6

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.

Step 7

Transfer the Vegan Taramosalata to a serving bowl. Serve chilled or at room temperature with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
