Ingredients
  

Hummus Base
  • 1 medium roasted beet Adds a sweet and earthy flavor while providing a vibrant color.
  • 1 cup cooked and drained chickpeas A staple in hummus, they offer protein and creaminess.
  • 2 tbsp lime juice Adds a zesty freshness that brightens the flavors.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Essential for a rich, smooth texture and enhances the flavor profile.
  • 2 tbsp tahini Contributes a nutty taste and creamy consistency.
  • 0.5 tsp sea salt Enhances the overall flavor.
  • 0.25 tsp ground black pepper Adds subtle heat and depth.
  • 1 clove garlic Introduces a robust flavor that complements the sweetness of the beets.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the medium roasted beet and garlic into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Blending
  1. In a blender or food processor, add the chopped beet, chickpeas, lime juice, olive oil, tahini, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic.
  2. Pulse the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer flavor, roast the beet ahead of time and allow it to cool before chopping. This dip can be served with fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or as a spread on sandwiches. Adjust the consistency by adding more olive oil or water if needed.
