I love beetroot, in fact you could say I relish beetroot. So it that case it seems like the only thing to do is make some super easy Beetroot Relish so I can eat my beetroot with almost anything!

I put some spices in here as I find they really liven up the beetroot relish and make it the perfect accompaniment to a chicken salad, pork chops or on it’s own as a dip with crackers.
