Good day, friends. I’m coming in PINK with this beetroot hummus recipe! It’s got all the things we love about hummus (creamy, flavoursome, oh-so-dippable) with the added bonus of it’s gorgeous pink hue. SWOON!

How to make beetroot hummus

Making pink hummus at home couldn’t be simpler. I like to use pre-cooked beetroot to make this recipe super quick and easy. Simply add the beetroot to a blender along with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, dried coriander, and salt and pepper. Simples!

What to serve with hummus

I love to serve hummus on a platter alongside lots of chopped veggies and crackers. It also goes great with cheese, in wraps, and even in your burgers!

A dollop of this hummus would also go great alongside my kale Greek salad.

FAQ

Do I have to add beetroot?

You can omit the beetroot in this recipe to make a tasty plain hummus instead.

I can’t find tahini – what can I use instead?

If you can’t find tahini in your supermarket, you can either omit it or substitute equal quantities of toasted sesame seeds.

Can I prepare beetroot hummus ahead of time?

Beetroot hummus is best enjoyed immediately as it will discolour over time.
