As an avid party planner, I aim to serve my guests dishes that are familiar, but with an unexpected twist. My friends and I share bowls of hummus often. To keep things interesting, we try to change up the flavor profile of our dips as frequently as possible. This recipe for Beet Hummus is the perfect example of that philosophy and is a welcome, vibrant addition to our repertoire!

recipe for beet hummus

White beans give the hummus a creamier texture than the usual chickpeas, and beets lend a gorgeous pink hue and a slightly sweet touch. Roasting beets can be a time-intensive (and messy!) affair. Here, canned beets or refrigerated beets work just as well—and are way more convenient. Tahini, a paste made from toasted sesame seeds, adds a lovely nuttiness, and the lemon juice brightens up the whole mix.

Crispy baked pita chips

Crispy baked pita chips are superb scoopers for this creamy beet hummus. I like to dust mine with spices like cumin or oregano for a quick gourmet touch. Simply cut pita pockets into triangles, toss with oil and spices, and bake until crisp.

If you’re looking for a guilt-free dipper, cucumber slices provide the perfect crunch. Any cucumber will do, but I prefer English or Kirbies because they have fewer seeds than other varieties.

Beet Hummus is an ideal make-ahead party appetizer that tastes just as good as it looks!
