Ingredients

• beetroot - 200 grams, cooked and grated
• cooked quinoa - 100 grams
• black beans - 100 grams, drained and rinsed
• oats - 50 grams, ground
• onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• garlic - 2 cloves, minced

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated beetroot, cooked quinoa, black beans, and ground oats.
