Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Put the beet, water, nut or coconut butter or tahini, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and salt in an upright blender and blend until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula and blend again. Adjust the seasoning to taste and blend again. Use immediately, or store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using. The dressing will thicken once chilled; thin it out with a little water if needed.
