Easy beetroot hummus

You will love this quick and easy beetroot hummus with it's intensely vibrant colour and earthy flavours. Perfectly balanced with a bit of brightness from lemon, warmth from cumin and nuttiness from tahini. The beetroot itself lends a touch of sweetness and depth. This serves wonderfully as a nutritious dip, or a spread on pittas or warm crusty bread.
