Beet Hummus
This deliciously pink Beet Hummus is not only nutritionally dense, it tastes amazing! You won’t be able to stop eating it!
Amelia and I took a plant based cooking class offered by a very talented local chef, Kelley Williamson. She’s known as the Plant Based Kitchenista and her version of this tasty Beet Hummus was there for us to eat as we cooked.
This recipe is Amelia’s version of Kelley’s recipe with a few changes. Amelia wanted to make more, so she doubled the ingredients for everything except the garbanzo beans. That made the hummus a little more moist like the texture of traditional hummus making it easier to dip our crackers and pita chips in it.
We absolutely love this Beet Hummus recipe. The beets give it a little bit of sweetness while the lemon and tahini give it some zest. You might also want to make your own Homemade Pita Chips to go with this delicious hummus.
