Glut of beetroot

I forgot to look at what was in the veg box this week and I've ended up with a massive amount of beetroot. Our house is on the market so I don't really want to make chutney in case we get viewings (I don't think eau de vinegar will help sell the house) and we've already got sick of beetroot cous cous, beetroot and feta pasta and beetroot in with the roast spuds.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Beetroot soup? Good way to use a lot. How about a beetroot slaw. Also good in chocolate cake/brownies - that'll help the house sell!

Beetroot, new potatoes, feta, cumin seeds, oil, pinch of celery salt all chopped up with salmon or chicken breast on top. Just discovered cumin works really well with beetroot.
Do you have a blender? You could make beetroot juice and freeze for soups or smoothies.

Oh and beetroot and walnut dip is amazing. Think it's just beetroot, walnuts, lemon, olive oil blended up from memory.

That hummus sounds delicious. I don't know why I didn't think of beetroot soup.

I love the idea of beetroot brownies helping the house to sell. I'm meant to be eating healthily but if it's for the good of the house sale, brownies it is!

I'm sure beetroot brownies have to be 1 of our 5 a day!

Absolutely munch! Same for carrot cake, vegetable crisps... Grin

Oh wow, thanks soaking. We've got veggie friends round next week and that tart looks amazing as dinner.
