Pink Power Beetroot & Walnut "houmus"


I don´t now why they call it the humble beetroot. Bursting with flavor, goodness and amazing COLOR its certainly the queen of roots!

Beets and walnuts like to sit in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g! Such is their affection for one another. I love them too I must say and this pseudo houmus dip made my day a little bit more rosy than it already was.

This one´s easy guys and really packs truckloads of nutrition. We´re talking iron, calcium, B-vits and antioxidants to name but a few!

So what you´ll need is:
  • 2 average size beets steamed very tender (or 4 small ones or you can buy them precooked and vacuum packed)
  •  3/4 cups walnuts roughly ground
  • 1 tbsp each sesame seeds and sunflower seeds, ground
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or flax, hemp or any other good quality oil)
  • generous pinch each cumin & coriander powder
  • pinch of seasalt
  • 1 tbsp light tahini
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
And this is what you do
  • Put everything in a bowl and blend until smooth with a hand blender
  • Or use your countertop blender
Done! easy right:)

Now join me on the pink cloud, sit back and devour on a lovely cracker or some cut up veg, impress friends, bring to work or school or keep in your fridge as a healthy, handy, yummy snack.


Peace
