Delicious Beet Hummus

Beet Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 large beet, chopped into smallish pieces
• 1 can drained garbanzo beans (I use cannellini or great northern)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds (and/or walnuts - I enjoy these) - I like to toast these as they give a nuttier flavor to the hummus)
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled (or use 2-3 if you’re part vampire)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
• sea salt to taste
• Any other seasonings to taste.

 Instructions: 

• Place all ingredients in food processor.  Pulse to desired consistency. 

• Let mixture sit a bit for flavor melding.  Optionally chill.  Serve with pita chips, etc.  Yum!

 This is a tasty family recipe and never fails to disappoint! Try it this weekend!!
