Healthy + Simple Beet Hummus

Be on the lookout for recipes that share other ways to enjoy this beet hummus!

Some of these recipes include: with crackers/pita, on toast alone or with leftover veggies, quickly transformed into a pasta sauce and so much more.

I wanted to make a note about the garlic. Often times, we may find that recipes don’t call for enough garlic. With this, I do recommend only using one clove. Raw garlic is much more pungent and can easily overpower a dish. If you do find that one clove of garlic is not enough, feel free to add after a taste test. Tasting as we go is always the best policy! Enjoy.

Instructions
