Valentine's Day Pink Lemon Beet Hummus

20-Minute Valentine's Day Pink Lemon Beet Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 small beet, cooked and peeled

• 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 2 tablespoons tahini

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

• Cook the beet until it's tender. You can roast, boil, or steam the beet until it's easily pierced with a fork. Allow the beet to cool before peeling.

• In a food processor, combine the cooked beet, chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

• Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to achieve your desired consistency.

• Season the hummus with salt and pepper to taste. Blend again to incorporate the seasoning.

• Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning or add more lemon juice if desired.

• Transfer the pink beet hummus to a serving bowl. Add some olive oil to finish.

Serve the hummus with an assortment of sliced vegetables such as cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, and any other veggies you like.
