* 3 medium golden beets, coarsely chopped
* 1 ¼ cups shelled walnuts, chopped
* 6 large medjool dates, chopped

Place raisins in a small bowl and cover with water or juice. Set aside. Whirl the golden beets in a food processor until uniformly chopped and transfer to a large bowl. Drain the raisins and add to beets. Add remaining ingredients, stir well to combine, and adjust seasonings to taste.
