Notes

This recipe can serve 2 – 4 people as a side dish. Two adults can also eat it as a main.

If you added salt when boiling, be careful not to add too much when blending them. Always start with a tiny dash of salt and add more if need be.

You can boil the beets without peeling and then peel before blending. However, I found it easier to peel before cutting and cooking. Nevertheless, do what works for you!
