Roast then toss through a salad with feta. DIVINE! Beetroot hummus - this is the most heavenly thing...we have it in burgers, as a dip....basically anyway you would use normal hummus... 100g cooked beetroot, cubed (I roast mine, it seems to be nicer with it roasted) ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Oooh and this salad is really really yummy too.... Cut beetroot into 2cm batons and roast for 45 mins (covered), tossed in olive oil and carraway seeds. then roast for a further 25 mins uncovered. WHen straight out of oven put a couple of Tb of Balsamic through the beetroot. meanwhile finely slice red onion in lemon juice and leave for an hour. When beetroot is cool, layer in a bowl with drained onions, finely chopped fresh dates, pistachio nuts and finely chopped mint. Voila. Is from a Dish magazine. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
