Set dry frying pan over medium heat. Toast caraway seeds for a few minutes, until gently toasted and aromatic. Cool, then grind in mortar and pestle.

Blitz all but one of the cooked beets in food processor. Add yogurt, chili flakes, lemon juice, and ground caraway and blend. Youu2019re looking for a very slightly coarse mixture, not a smooth cream. Check for seasoning and add a pinch of crushed sea salt, if necessary.

Transfer dip mixture to serving bowl you wish to use and finely dice remaining whole beet. Add to top of dip in center. Finish with thin zigzag drizzle of coconut yogurt over top.

Serve with toasted pita bread, if desired.

Make the harissa paste: In small skillet, toast caraway, cumin, and coriander over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully, as they can burn in a flash. Transfer toasted seeds to food processor and pulse until ground. To food processor, add garlic and pulse to finely chop, followed by remaining harissa paste ingredients. Puree until smooth. Transfer to airtight glass jar and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Make the pasta: Bring large pot of water to a boil and salt well. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.

Make the harissa tomato sauce: Meanwhile, in large high-sided skillet, heat harissa paste over medium heat and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Add tomatoes, olives, and vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes, breaking up tomatoes as you stir occasionally.

Assemble the dish: Add cooked pasta to sauce and toss over medium heat until sauce and pasta come together. Add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen sauce as you go, if necessary. Divide pasta among bowls, top with fresh basil, and serve.

Make the salad: Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

In large salad bowl, combine bell pepper, broccoli, corn, and red onion.

Make the dressing: Using food processor, combine avocado, garlic, basil, sunflower seeds, lime juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and sea salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the avocado youu2019re using isnu2019t soft, you may need to add a touch more olive oil or water to make dressing creamier.

Add cooked pasta to salad bowl containing vegetables, and mix. Pour dressing over top and mix until combined. Top with broccoli or sunflower sprouts. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving or enjoy immediately.
