PRETTY PINK HUMMUS

I love getting creative with hummus, and I also love beets so this was a perfectly tasting combination. I always have hummus in my fridge for a quick and healthy snack. The beets give the hummus the prettiest pink colour. 

Ingredients:

-> 1 small boiled beet
-> 1 can of cooked chickpeas, drained
-> Zest of 1 large lemon
-> Juice of half a large lemon
-> Pinch of salt and black pepper
-> 2 large garlic cloves, minced
-> 2 Tbsp Tahini
-> 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

Once your beet has boiled (approx. 30 minutes) let it cool. When the beet has cooled, peel and quarter it and place it in your food processor. Blend it until only small bits remain. Add all the ingredients except for olive oil and blend until smooth. 
Drizzle the olive oil in as the hummus is mixing. If the mixture is too thick add some water.
