This magnificent magenta-colored hummus has both the looks and the substance and sustenance to back the beauty! This dip has an earthy taste, but is sweetened with the process of roasting the beetroots, and livened with the zing of lemon juice. Once the beetroot is roasted, this dip is one of those “throw-it-all-in-the-blender” type recipes that you will find yourself whipping up time and time again. It pairs perfectly with raw vegetables for dipping, but is also a fabulous addition to pita pockets or salads. It’s a healthy appetizer when entertaining and you just can’t beet the colour for the “wow” factor on the table. Enjoy this earthy take on the humble hummus as we slide into the grounding nature of Autumn!
