SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is the BEST! I am a convert, and I will be making this often. Beautiful, nutritious, and soooo delicious. Five stars, for sure! My only regret is that I didn't take a picture.
I make Greek beets with similar ingredients (except for the cumin and tahini) in big batches. Then when I get a little tired of the beet chunks I make a puree to dip stuff in. I'd love to try this with the cumin and tahini. Marj, spread this on a whole wheat wrap and fill it with veggies like sprouts, cucumber, maybe some grilled eggplant or seitan. But scooping with your fingers is always delicious! Good idea, Yabbitgirl.
This sound interesting. I'm always wanting to try beets and we love hummus :) What do you dip in this?
That's up to you: crackers, chips, veggies...spoons....your fingers... ;)b
