Vibrant Beet Hummus
I mean who doesn’t love anything pink? Beets add a vibrant, beautiful color and taste to a classic hummus recipe. Not only is the color cute, but beets offer nutrients like folate, vitamin C, phosphorus, magnesium, and antioxidants! This beet hummus is a perfect snack with pita bread, flax seed crackers, veggies, or even can be used as a spread on a sandwich or wrap!
