This recipe would be perfect for Valentine’s Day. Or for a Pepto-Bismol themed brunch. After the last hummus recipe I wanted something that didn’t quite have the same overpowering savory taste of olives and garlic that instead would be suited for Springtime. This is definitely the kind of hummus I’d plop on a salad and eat with vegetables since the flavor is so light. It’ll definitely draw eyes with a color like that.
Sweet Beet Hummus
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chickpeas
- 1/2 cup beets, loosely cut
- 1/2 Tablespoon vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- ~2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons honey
Pour the chickpeas into the food processor.
Add in the beets, honey, and salt and begin to blend. While blending, slowly pour in the vinegar and olive oil until the hummus becomes smooth and runny.
I’m not sure if it can cure nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or diarrhea, but if you’re eating hummus to begin with that’s a pretty good start towards your health.
Awesome, Evan! Thought I’d tried every hummus among us, but this one’s new to me.
oh, evan. this takes my beet obsession to a whole new level. thank you.
I would never have thought to make something like this. But I LOVE beets and I love hummus even more. The pairing is wonderful 🙂
Plus, it’s pink
you’ve combined two of my favorite foods into one!
This looks beautiful!
It’ll be a good marker of your transit time, that’s for sure!
I’ve done beet hummus as a raw dish, where the beets take the place of the chickpeas and the creaminess is provided by tahini. That’s really good too…
as someone who loves all things PINK, I want to make this! outside of juicing, I’m not the biggest beet fan, but masking them with hummus-y flavor and honey might turn me! 😀
also? when Your Brownie Cookbook is complete, book number two should be Hummus.
Oh, I can see this on a veggie sandwich – yummy!
That’s one thing that I haven’t tried yet. Looks so yummy 😀
I love beets! Great way to use them 🙂
I love the pink color too 🙂
Nobody has ever offered me pink beet hummus before on Valentine, but if they did, I wouldn’t refuse. I bet this tasted divine, the flavor combo is great!
“Pepto-Bismol themed brunch”
Congrats on being one of the few blogs that routinely makes me LOL, even if beets aren’t my thing.
What a fun hummus! That color is stunning. 🙂
haha! and the hummus craze continues! 🙂 looks lovely 🙂
Beautiful! This also looks like a way to eat beet(root) in a toned down version so that bathroom trips don’t also become Valentine’s day themed…
Looks great man. Glad to see you are reppin’ one of my favorite root veggies! Beets deserve more street cred, and this recipe will help I am sure 🙂
How interesting – I have never had beet hummus before.
🙂 Mandy
I love beets. I love hummus. Winning.
That would be perfect to sneek Beets into your life! 🙂 Valentines too! 🙂
