Today I'm going to share with you the traditional recipe with an added ingredient to make your Hummus pink.
Pink hummus?
Yes, this is a new tasty recipe and very easy to make.
Making pink hummus is the same as making hummus, but what is the secret added ingredient?
Beetroot! I have added beetroot to give it a different colour and slight different taste.
So here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 Jar of 540g cooked Chick Peas
- Tahini - Sesame paste
- 2 tbsp Tahini
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 2 tbsp quality extra virgin olive oil
- 3½ tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp cumin
- Paprika (optional
- 1 cooked beetroot
Rinse the chick peas and put into food blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and blitz with blender.
When nice and smooth place in serving dish and voila!
Has anyone told you that Hummus is a great Sandwich Filler?

Benefits of Beetroot:
Beets are high in immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium (essential for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (which is good for your bones, liver, kidneys, and pancreas). Beetroot also contain the B vitamin folate, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects.
It is also a stamina booster for all those gym enthusiasts who want to train that little longer.
