Beets, Beets Everywhere!
by Wendy Myers-Jennings
One vegetable we received in our CSA box this year was
beets. We were looking for some creative ways to use them so below are a
few!
Beet Hummus
The
creaminess of hummus with an extra sweet tang of beet! Just roast one
beet until tender, peel and then add it to a food processor or blender
along with chickpeas, tahini, water or olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and
juice, salt and cumin. Enjoy the bright pop of color!

Pickled Beets
These
are refrigerator pickled beets so very easy. Roast the beets and peel
them, slicing into manageable sizes and put them into jars. Make the
quick brine on the stove and once cooled a bit, pour over your beet
slices. Put in the fridge and enjoy!

Final
tip: if you have an instant pot/pressure cooker, it’s an easy way to
cook beets without heating up your kitchen this summer
