I wanted to create something festive for Valentine’s Day that isn’t cookie or chocolate. The bright red color of beets immediately came to mind. I know Beet Hummus is something that has been use over and over again by food bloggers, but this version is really good, pretty, and the perfect color to see life in pink!
Beet Hummus Dip is perfect for serving with crackers, veggies or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
If you love hummus as much as I do. You will love this Arugula Hummus recipe
