Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large red beets, washed and peeled
- 3 cups water
- 1/3 cup cashews*
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Top with cilantro or mint leaves
Instructions
- Put cashews in a bowl with warm water. Allow them to soak while cooking.
- Using a small amount of water or 1 tsp olive or avocado oil, saute the onions and minced garlic.
- While sauteing, wash and peel the beets. Boil until tender.
- In a blender, combine the garlic, onion, cooked beets, cashews, and water. Start with less water and add more as needed. Blend until smooth.
