ByLisa Viger

 serves 2 ~ $1.60 per serving

  • 2 beets ($1.50)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice ($.30)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil ($.20)
  • 2 tablespoons agave ($.20)
  • 1/2 cup cashews ($2.00)
  • 1/4 cup water, for blending (add more if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 clove garlic

Slice the beets very thinly. They can used as is, or stacked a few at a time and cut into heart shapes with kitchen scissors. Then, in a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and agave, until emulsified. Add the beets and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for a few hours or even overnight in the fridge.

When the beets are softened and ready to use. blend the remaining ingredients in a bullet type blender for several minutes until creamy.

To assemble, lay one slice of beet down and place about a teaspoon of the cashew cream in the center. Top with another slice of beet and lightly press.

Finally, add a small drizzle of olive oil (optional).

  3. Hi Lisa,
    I am a huge fan of your website, and really want to thank you for all the great, easy and delicious recipes, as well as for the great pictures.
    One question that I have and would like your help with is on how you get the nutritional information. Could you let me know which website you use for that?
    Thanks a lot, and the best to you!

    1. Hi Themis! You're welcome and thanks! I use everydayhealth.com the most often for nutritional information. I try to keep track what I eat and so use it fairly often … practically daily. Sometimes, I use caloriecount.com or the nutritional label if it's a packaged product.
