Bill actually likes beets. I think they taste like dirt. He is always looking at recipes that are good for runners and we test them out. You can eat the root and the leaves of beets. They only have 36 calories and have 300 mg of nitrates per 4 ounces which is supposed to improve endurance. Anyways enough of the science lesson.
We made Aussie-Style hamburgers with Beetroot Salsa however we didn't care too much for the burgers I think it had too much mint. I think they would be good with less or no mint. Anyways I'll give the beetroot salsa recipe and then the burger after in case you want to go for the full effect.

Beetroot Salsa
1 15 oz can of small beets drained and chopped ( I guess in Australia they call them beetroots instead of just beets)

1 small red onion finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped cherry tomatoes quartered
1/4 cup chopped coriander
