Notes
- Make sure to drain the canned beets very well before adding to the blender.
- If your beets are whole roughly chop them before blending.
- Add the olive oil slowly when the blender is on so the hummus becomes extra smooth and creamy in texture.
- If your hummus is too thick then add more olive oil or a splash of water until you reach the desired consistency.
- If your hummus is too thin and you prefer a chunky texture then you can add canned chickpeas or white beans such as cannellini to thicken it.
- Feel free to add different spices to taste such as cumin and sumac.
- You can also experiment with different ingredients such as jalapenos or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or fresh cilantro.
- I often add 3 garlic cloves to this instead of 2, if you love the spiciness of fresh garlic then I recommend trying it!
