Beet & Goat Cheese Dip starts with a base of whipped goat cheese (blended with a touch of cream until it's impossibly smooth) piped in alternating lines with a silky roasted beet puree spiked with red wine vinegar and olive oil. The whole thing gets finished with crushed pistachios, fresh parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and flaky sea salt. Scoop it up with crusty bread or crackers, and try not to eat the entire bowl before your guests show up.
