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:
Drain and rinse 1 can garbanzo beans with cold water.
In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, combine rinsed and drained garbanzo beans with ¼ cup tahini, juice and zest of 1 lemon, 2 peeled cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Blend all ingredients until almost smooth for 2-3 minutes, pausing halfway to scrape down the sides.
With a motor still running, drizzle in ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil until smooth and creamy.
Serve garnished with extra drizzle of olive oil and chopped pistachios.
This Lemon Beet Hummus is healthy, bowl scraping good and helps maintain immunity too! Add your favorite vegetables, some pita bread and you are ready to go! If you make this recipe, don’t forget to tag #cookmerecipes in your posts!
