Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the beetroot on a roasting tray, drizzle with the avocado oil, then roast for 35-40 minutes until tender.
- For the omega-3 houmous, whizz the chickpeas, tahini, lemon and garlic with half the reserved chickpea water in a food processor/blender. Add the flaxseed/linseed and whizz, adding more of the chickpea water, if needed, for a smooth consistency. Season.
- Divide the houmous, beetroot, avocado, leaves, cucumbers, carrot and feta among 4 plates, then drizzle over a little more oil and, if you like, lemon juice for a sharper flavour.
