I’d made some mashed beets with a sweet potato earlier in the week and kept it in the fridge, as well as about a cup of cooked rice. ‘And there I go’, I think. ‘Let’s mix these together and put some purple magic into this pale bowl of rice!’ I take out a few other appetising thingies in my fridge and let my Friday night creativity express itself. Bibidi babidi boo – it’s given birth to a fresh & nourishing beet rice salad, covering a nest of spinach leaves, and topped with half an avocado, blueberries, blackberries, and poppy seeds.
