YUM! I love beets! Just a quick tip, top this with a fresh goat cheese and it will just be wonderful! I work with Chavrie and it's completely all natural and contains 30% less fat than sour cream. Besides, beets +goat cheese=Heaven!

Oooh, I've never tried it with goat cheese but that is a great suggestion! Beets and goat cheese compliment eat other wonderfully.
