Beetroot Hummus is an arabic style regular chickpea dip made more healthy by adding steamed beetroot for extra flavors and rich vibrant color.
It is a trend… these days to have fancy flavored hummus and display vibrant colored pictures on Instagram. I truly believe that the easiest and healthiest recipes gain the most fame rather than the sophisticated ones.
Hummus is a regular dish being prepared in my household especially for dinner where the family gathers around the kitchen dining table to enjoy the dip with oven-toasted pita bread bites and salad sticks. I do like to experiment with various kinds of flavors like Rajma Hummus (also known as Kidney Bean Hummus), Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Green Olive Hummus, Chili & Herb Hummus and if you do not like to mess with the traditional and classic version, there is a basic Hummus recipe too.
