Pureed Beet Salad

Not sure why this is called a salad; it's like a beet version of hummus.  Um, yes please.  This is really very pleasant, sort of unexpectedly given the weird ingredients.  It's substantial and sweet and a little vinegary and just basically super nummy.  This was the only item to be absolutely devoured by everyone; there was hardly any left, and everyone commented on how good it was.

Notes: I pretty much followed the directions exactly, except I had a little under the requested amount of beets.  I'd go full throttle on the beets next time as their flavor is not the primary one.  Hold back a little on the vinegar and use at least 1 tb less oil than called for.  1 small slice of stale crusty bread.
