Ingredients
  

  • 1 beet roasted, peeled, and chopped. Note: to roast a beet, wash then drizzle with olive oil and salt, wrap in tin foil, and place in the oven. Bake at 400 degrees for about an hour. Wait for it to cool then peel the skin off, which should be easy if it's done.
  • 1 can chickpeas drained
  • 2/3 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup fresh-squezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin to taste
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt

Instructions
 

Pink Beet Hummus

  • Combine the chickpeas, tahini, beet, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
  • With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin or salt to your own taste.

Notes

Garnishes can include chopped parsley, pine nuts, thinly sliced radishes, za’atar, more lemon zest, olive oil, or anything else you'd like!
