Homemade hummus is so easy to prepare and a better-for-you dip. I love that you can customize with your favorite vegetables, fruits and spices. It makes a great mayo replacement in sandwiches and wraps. It’s a delicious, simple appetizer at gatherings and a tasty snack kids love.
Adding a roasted or boiled beet is a great way to make a fun, bright pink dip. I know a few friends who can’t stand the idea of beets but I am here to change that thinking with this delicious recipe. I headed over to my Sprouts where I could find all the fresh ingredients needed and paired it up with some spooky Halloween-shaped baked corn tortilla chips, sliced radishes and beet chips. Perfect for the season.
Beet hummus dip can be prepared in under 15 minutes once your beet is cooked. Depending how quickly you can puree the ingredients in your food processor. My dip is citrusy and mild. You can always add a few slices of jalapeño or serrano pepper to give it a little bit of heat if you wish. My son was anxious to dip his chips in this beet hummus so we kept the peppers out.
Add a bit of bright pink to your Halloween celebration and prepare this tasty snack for friends right before heading out to trick-or-treat. They will love it!
