With so many gorgeous, natural colours of real food, we have to ask ourselves why artificial food colouring was ever invented!
The beets in this recipe add a stunning colour, a subtly sweet taste and a pile of antioxidants to this healthy hummus recipe.
Homemade hummus is soooo easy to make – and the fresh taste of the lemon and garlic makes store-bought hummus an embarrassment!
3 medium sized cooked beets (scrub, roast or boil beets until fork tender, then peel)
1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
4 cloves garlic
juice from 1 lemon
2 Tbsp tahini
pinch of salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
Put cooked beets, chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini and salt in your food processor or blender. Blend.
Drizzle in the olive oil.
Use as a dip or a sandwich spread.
Make this for your friends at your next book club meeting and you will be blushing from all of the compliments!
