Roasted Beet Hummus
November 18 2019
How about a bright, gorgeous hummus to make your party festive! This hummus is reminiscent of a beet borscht (that I refused to even try when I was a child and my Bubbe would serve it!) in color and has all the wonderful flavors of hummus: tahini, garlic, lemon, and cumin.
Give it a try! This pretty little dish can't help but be noticed!!
