Beet Hummus

It’s always time for hummus!

I

love making some hummus during the week that I can use as a snack or topping for a fast salad in the office. 

I try to avoid buying already made hummus at the grocery because is never as I like: sometimes too zesty or spicy. Or, even worst, it contains sugar. I am also not a big fan of cumin, so when I make my own I skip that.

Is hummus fattening

hummus is made of good ingredients such as olive oil (a heart-healthy unsaturated fat) and tahin (sesame paste). It’s appetite-controller because the fibers that only plant-based food can have.

 

This pink version is for the beet lovers like me: not only the color but also the taste totally changes if you add a couple of cooked beets. And indeed hummus is a versatile dip: you can add nuts, such as pine nuts or dry tomatoes or even mint or basil to turn into a rich green creamy dip almost like a guacamole.
