Turn the Beets Around, Love to Eat This Hummus

UI Extension Provides a Pretty Twist on the Usual Beet Recipes


Beets are highly nutritious, and many of us find them to be tasty, earthy treats. And if you go to a farmers market or other vendor where you can buy these root vegetables with their similarly tasty and healthy greens attached, it's like getting two vegetables for the price of one.


Beets turn up most often roasted, pickled or in salads (I recently posted about a delicious beet salad I prepared for a recipe by Chef Tigist Reda of Chicago's Demera Ethiopian Restaurant). But did you know you can make a yummy — and colorful — hummus with beets?


If you didn't, read on and you will now. This easy Beet and Bean hummus recipe is part of the latest contribution from our friends at University of Illinois Extension and UI Health. Thanks as always to Bianca Bautista of UI Extension Cook County for this valuable content.
