I enjoyed the raw beets, but there are a few things I would change if I made this again. I adore garlic, but this was a bit too much for me so I would cut it back to one clove. Since it isn't cooked it remains very strong.
I would shred the beets in the food processor to save time and keep my hands from getting stained, and I would use my regular hummus instead of this sauce, since I've never been much of a fan of nutmeg or cayenne.
This was very filling and the texture was good. My son and I also had alot of energy after eating this raw meal.
