Beetroot Hummus

by Tansy Boggon

Beetroot hummus makes for a great everyday snack or addition to a platter with veggie sticks, wholegrain crackers and cheeses.

You can just as easily purchase beetroot hummus from your supermarket. However, it is such a straight forward dish to make.

Further, making it yourself enables you to adjust the flavour — and take credit when you receive compliments!
