Roasted Beet Hummus
Roasted Beet Hummus is a nourishing, delectable twist on a beloved classic. It brings together the natural sweetness of the roasted beets that elevate the flavors of the traditional hummus made with creamy chickpeas, rich sesame seeds, zesty garlic, bright lemon, and smooth extra virgin olive oil. Its velvety, visually striking color is a showstopper. This crowd-pleaser dip pairs well with roasted veggies, salads, crackers, sandwiches, or pita chips!
