Steps:
- Place the cashews in a small bowl and add enough water to cover the nuts. Set aside until ready to make the dip, about 5 minutes.
- Combine the drained cashews, beets, beet juice, dill, lemon zest and juice and cucumber in the carafe of a food processor. Pulse into a smooth paste, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the carafe as needed. While the machine is running, stream in the olive oil. Turn off the machine and season the dip with salt and pepper. Pulse until just combined and pour into a serving bowl. Garish with a drizzle of olive oil, chopped dill, and crumbled feta cheese. Serve with potato chips. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.
- Leave the skins on the potatoes and slice as thinly as you can manage; you can also use a mandoline if desired. Pat dry with a paper towel. Heat enough oil to fill a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven halfway to 375 degrees F. Drop in the potatoes in batches and fry until crisp and starting to brown on the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack-lined baking sheet pan and sprinkle with some salt.
BEET RICOTTA DIP WITH VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Use a large sheet of foil to form a nest around your beets, then toss with some olive oil and a healthy pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Seal in foil and roast in the top third of the oven until the beets are fork-tender, 45 minutes.
- Carefully unwrap the beets and let cool, then slice into quarters. Add the beets, ricotta, vinegar, a large pinch of kosher salt and several grinds of fresh pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth, then taste, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Pour into a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil, a few cracks of fresh black pepper and a sprinkle of flaky salt. Serve with the vegetables.

HOMEMADE CASHEW BUTTER
Cashews are highly perishable and can turn rancid quickly due to their high oil content. Choose vacuum-packed jars or cans over cellophane packaging. Store cashews in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to avoid absorption of other food odors. Cashew butter can be used in place of peanut butter or as an ingredient in cookies, spreads or other dishes. If desired, substitute peanuts for the cashews to make Homemade Peanut Butter.
