Notes

  • Roasted or steamed beets both work well in this recipe.
  • Canned chickpeas make preparation quick and easy.
  • Add roasted garlic for a milder and sweeter flavor.
  • Fresh herbs like dill or parsley add brightness and freshness.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before serving.
