Red Beet Hummus

This Red Beet Hummus is so velvety and creamy in texture. This is the perfect healthy appetizer and is a crowd favorite!

I love using Beets to make healthy recipes. You may remember my Red Beets “Rocher” awhile back that was a tasty appetizer made of Beets, Goat Cheese, Walnuts, and fresh Mint. Yum!

Well this time I decided to make a delicious hummus using Red Beets.

It’s super easy to make too. Once the Beets have boiled and cooled, just add in the Mint, Garlic, Lemon Juice, EVOO, Sesame Seeds, Cumin, Salt, and Pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.

In the pictures we paired this with Matza Flat Bread Gluten Free Crackers, Fresh Ricotta, Raw Walnuts, and a drizzle of White Truffle Glaze.

This combination of flavors along with the Red Beet Hummus was absolutely Orgasmik!

You guys are going to love this easy appetizer. It’s:

• Healthy
• Velvety and Creamy
• Full of flavor
• Easy to make
• Beautiful
• and 100% Delizioso!
