Vibrant Beet Hummus
A beautiful and earthy dip that brings a bright splash of color to any snack spread.
easy.enzo81.xyzThere is something so special about beet hummus. It tastes smooth and nutty, just like traditional hummus, but the addition of roasted beets gives it a lovely sweet flavor and a stunning pink color that really stands out on a platter.
My favorite trick for this recipe is to use pre cooked vacuum packed beets if you are in a rush. It saves a lot of time and makes this a very quick snack to whip up when friends come over unexpectedly.

- 1/4 cup tahini

Tips
Serve this with warm pita bread or fresh crunchy vegetables like carrots and cucumbers. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. A drizzle of extra olive oil on top before serving makes it look extra fancy.
