This one is my favourite:Grate together one beetroot and one carrot. On an oven tray, put about half cup of mixed nuts, seeds etc.I like cashews, brazils, walnuts, pumpkin and sesame seeds, but whatever you have.Slosh over a little bit of balsamic vinegar and a couple tsp of brown sugar.Stir and grill until the sugar melts/caramelises. Stir through the grated veg, and add a little bit more balsamic to moisten/to taste. Has always gone down well wherever I take it, and it keeps well in the fridge too.Yum!

Also using beetroot.I sometimes use the whole baby beets and cut in half, mix with red onion, strawberries, some red capsicums.Pour over small amount of viniegar (Balsalmic is you like) and equal amount of water.Always very popular.
