It’s time to dress up for the holidays. While this certainly applies to our wardrobes, here we’re talking about hummus. Hummus is a party favorite, easy to make in advance, and unfailingly popular. It’s also very beige in color. This recipe gives the dependable Levantine chickpea-and-tahini dip a holiday makeover, infusing it with a jolt of color and a sprinkle of bling to usher in the festive season.
For that task, look no further than the humble beetroot. Beetroots are sweet and earthy, packed with fiber, vitamins, and nutrients, and, for the sake of a party, they’re decidedly not beige. Their brilliant fuchsia flesh lends vibrance and extra depth of flavor (not to mention healthy antioxidants) to the hummus, elevating it to take center stage in your appetizer spread.
