Can't Beet It

 This is similar to my Rosh Hashanah dish.  Haven't tried it on someone yet who doesn't like beets though. 

Ingredients:

1/2 beet - whole beet was size of an navel orange (marinated in oj for 1/2 hour)

8 or 9 deglet noor dates (smaller than medjool)

1 raw leek (white and pale green only)

1 small/med carrot

2 small leaves of mint (add more to taste)
small handful of spinach (or cilantro, mostly leaves)
Slices of cukes, for presentation

Put all in food processor (could probably use vegetable peeler on beet and carrot and dice mint, leek and date) and then lump on cuke slice.   Put a grape tomato on top.  Learned about this peeler on another site to make "noodles" and little strips.

I have also used a spiralizer and made cucumber noodles, instead of slices, and put the beet mixture over the top.  With the grape tomatoes over that.  Kind of a chunky saucy marinara :).
