Just in time for shower season, a pretty pink dip perfect for celebrating a bride, a new graduate, or a tiny pink bundle of joy. The delicate earthy flavor of this beet hummus pairs perfectly with crisp vegetables and hearty crackers. Plus, it’s a cinch to make.
Use white or yellow beets with just one red beet for that perfect pink hue.
Beet hummus. Pretty perfect, don’t you think?
Pretty in Pink Beet Hummus
Pretty in pink for a party! Perfect for a wedding or baby shower, or just for lunch!
Ingredients
- 3-4 beets cooked and peeled (Use golden or white beets with one small red beet for a pink color. The more red beets you use, the deeper the pink/red color will be)
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 1 clover garlic peeled
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon plus more for garnish
- 1/4 tsp. each salt & pepper
Instructions
- Place everything in a food processor. Pulse until well blended. Serve with fresh veggies and crackers. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
- Note: To cook fresh beets, I usually simmer in hot water for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water, cool and peel. Easy!

I LOVE your recipe. I’ve made hummus with roasted carrots before and it was a big hit w/ my family. Now that beets are everywhere, I’ll have to try this. So pretty!!

Super fun idea and you just reminded me that my daughter needs to make hummus today, to bring in to school tomorrow for a Greek food project. Can’t wait to try this and thanks for the reminder!!!
Beets are very oh, la , la French. My kids had them for lunch today in the French school cantine. Not a great dip like yours, just cooked and served with vinaigrette….but your recipe is coming chez moi soon!
Merci!
