Tip

Using your own produce

If you end up with a homegrown glut of beetroot this summer, why not cook your own for this recipe. Heat oven to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6 and roast (washed but unpeeled) wedges of beetroot tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper for 25-30 mins or until tender.

Method

  1. Cut the beetroot, tomatoes, chilli, orange and cucumber into small chunks, then mix them all together with the coriander and lime juice. Season and serve with tortilla chips or crisps.
