Beet Hummus

This Beet Hummus has such stunning color and amazing flavor!

I was first introduced to Beet Hummus by my cousin a couple of months ago. I finally got around to making it myself. The color is all from the beets and the flavor is amazing!   

Just imagine serving this hummus at your next party along with Roasted Garlic Hummus and Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus. Your guests will be so impressed!

Hummus is a go-to snack for me. I love packing it in my lunch along with fresh veggies. Hummus is packed with flavor, but it’s also good for you.

I used the usual hummus ingredients here. However, when I first made this I didn’t have any garbanzo beans so I used a can of white cannelini beans. Either bean works fine in this recipe.
