Red Beet Hummus

This beautiful, vibrant pink Red Beet Hummus will be the shining star of your next party spread! It’s colored with red beet juice but it doesn’t taste like red beet at all (thank god!)

Red Beet Hummus

Confession Time! I don’t like beets. It’s pretty much the only thing I haven’t been able to acquire a taste for. BUT I’m totally down for beautiful, vibrant pink hummus colored with red beet juice!

I can’t be the only one that loves red beet hummus but hates beets? I promise you, this hummus does not taste like beets.

Taste is a funny thing, though. How it changes over time (I absolutely hated all kinds of vegetables until I was 17, and now look at me, drooling over broccoli and Brussels sprouts). And also how you can condition your body to like different things (I did this with sushi and olives). You just have to eat it often enough, and then you will acquire a taste for it over time.

So my beet-liking journey is still a work in progress, but in the meantime, I am going to eat Red Beet Hummus that doesn’t taste like beets.

How to make Red Beet Hummus

The ingredients

You will need:

  • chickpeas – I use canned ones, you can also use dried ones and cook them yourself
  • tahini – sesame paste
  • lemon juice
  • salt
  • water
  • olive oil
  • red beet juice – I use simple store-bought red beet juice.

Step 1: Add all the ingredients into a blender.
