This Easy Beet Hummus Recipe Is So Pretty In Pink by Sarah Adler
This easy beet hummus recipe is so pretty in pink! It's such a beautiful, show-stopping little dish, and it's so multi-functional, too. I love serving it for holidays or special occasions with veggies and gluten-free crackers as a quick appetizer, but it also does double duty as a Mediterranean-style salad dressing, as a great filling inside an avocado for lunch or as a spread in place of mayonnaise on anything. Pink deviled eggs, anyone?
This hummus recipe keeps great in the fridge for up to eight days, so have some fun using it on leftovers, for snacks and whatever else you can dream up. It’s great topped with extra sesame seeds (as pictured), toasted pumpkin seeds or a chile-infused olive oil for a little spice. If you’re really short on time, use a clean store-bought hummus and puree with pre-cooked beets in a blender. Add extra seasonings, if desired.

Here's how to make it:
