This healthy appetizer is as delicious as it is beautiful!! The beets absolutely transform regular hummus into a feast for your eyes!

Beet HummusI knew I had to replicate a beet hummus that my sister in law brought as an appetizer on Super Bowl Sunday. She had put together a beautiful tray that included two kinds of hummus, tzatziki, guacamole, crackers, and lots of fresh veggies. I couldn’t stop thinking about the gorgeous hot pink Beet Hummus!

It’s so simple to make, and I made it even easier by taking a shortcut by using TJ’s peeled and steamed beets. I love shortcuts that don’t compromise the quality or flavor of a finished product.

Using a food processor, mix all the ingredients together until smooth. It’s that simple! FYI, I ended up by adding in more beets than is shown in this image.

Lots of fresh garlic and lemon juice give it a fresh and zesty flavor! Beet HummusServe with all your favorite fresh veggies and/or a selection of crisp healthy crackers for a delicious, beautiful, and healthy appetizer!

    This is a brilliant twist on original hummus — I love the pink tint the beets add! They make anything just a little more ‘pretty!’ and I would have never thought to add them to hummus, but now I’ve gotta try it!
