Beet Hummus

I started making my own hummus about a year ago, and I'll never go back! It's so much better than the store bought stuff - more fresh, no preservatives, less fat & I love making up new flavors and combos.

Last week our neighbor gave us some steamed beets... like a LOT of steamed beets ;-) (thank you, Lindsay!)... We had so many that I wanted to try out some new recipes. That's where this recipe came from. Simple, delicious & nutritious!! (that's the theme of my recipes ;-))

BEET HUMMUS
What you need:
1 can organic garbanzo beans
1/4C steamed beets (can used canned or fresh, but steam the fresh ones first)
1TBSP tahini
1 clove crushed garlic
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1/4C water, add more if you like thinner. Add less if you like thicker

How to:
Blend all ingredients. I topped with 2 TBSP crushed almonds
