Lemon Beet Hummus

Recipe Description

This easy Lemon Beet Hummus is extremely good for health. High in fiber and packed with protein, it is also a rich source of minerals and vitamins. Make this effortless, healthy and delicious recipe and take your hummus up a notch with steamed beets, cumin and garlic. It’s not only tasty, but it also has a beautiful vibrant color!

I’ve been snacking on this healthy hummus over the past weekend. And I consider it’s also perfect for a lunchbox, besides it takes only 5 minutes to prepare. Making hummus yourself is super easy, and it will taste far better than any from the deli department. Though this hummus recipe uses canned garbanzo beans, I encourage you to cook garbanzo beans by yourself, using our Canning Chickpeas fail-safe recipe.

To prepare this Lemon Beet Hummus you will need the following ingredients:
