Happy VVP Saturday, beautiful soul!

If you’ve been around these digs for a while now, you’ll remember how much fun we had at the last couple of Virtual Vegan Potluck parties with Raw Red Velvet Cake Ice-Cream and Beetroot & Vegan ‘Goat Cheese’ Tarts:

Well it’s BACK, baby, bigger and better than ever!

More than 150 food bloggers worldwide have teamed up to bring you an incredible smörgåsbord of vegan dishes to delight and inspire you!  Click on the buttons below to follow the drool-worthy trail around the world.

A huge thank you to An Unrefined Vegan and Vegan Bloggers Unite for hosting this amazing, global party once again.
And since I may as well stay on this Beet track (especially now that it’s the featured ingredient of the party), I present for your VVP pleasure: fast, easy, healthy Pickled Beet Mini Tacos!

These appetisers are a cinch to make and the smooth cream, orange zest and chives combine to turn a simple pickled beet into a surprisingly delicious, tangy little treat.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large beetroot
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Handful of fresh chives chopped
  • Zest of 1 orange

Macadamia Sour Cream

  • 1 cup raw macadamia nuts
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Pinch sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel beetroot and thinly slice.
  • Place beetroot slices into a container and add enough apple cider vinegar to just cover them (about 1 cup). Add a pinch of sea salt.
  • Cover and place into the fridge. Leave to 'pickle' overnight.
  • Remove beetroot from the fridge, bend and feed slices onto small skewers.
  • Place all macadamia sour cream ingredients into a high-powered blender or food processor and whiz on high until smooth and creamy. If you have a very juicy lemon, just add a few more nuts until you get a thick, creamy consistency.
  • Spoon cream into beet 'tacos', sprinkle with chives and orange zest, and serve.

    These look so pretty! I’m sure I’d be tempted to just snack on all of the pickled beet slices before I even got a chance to turn them into mini tacos. 🙂

    These tangy bite sized beet apps look so cute! I love the simplicity yet tastiness of it. You may have convinced me to “make” raw beets.

    I love pickeled beets and the idea of eating them with macadamia nut sour creams is really great. we usually make cashew sour cream, but here’s to next time! Thank you for the recipe.

    These beet tacos are adorable. I have never made macadamia sour cream. I have been using cashews, I wonder how the macadamia nuts would be different? I can only imagine popping one of these in my mouth and enjoying the decadence of a such a healthy treat.

    YUM. YUMYUMYUMYUM. I’d devour some of these right now! I bet it would look awesome if you had both red and golden beet tacos on the same plate. Wait a minute….BRB! 😉
