    Red Beet & White Bean Hummus Recipe from Weelicious.com

    By Catherine McCord

    red beet and and white bean hummus

    Make this healthy hummus snack for your kids rather than giving them packaged dips or a cheese and cracker pack filled with unhealthy ingredients. This recipe uses beets to add vitamins—plus a vibrant color. Your kids will get a protein boost and you can serve it alongside carrot or celery sticks, healthy pita chips, or whole grain crackers.

    (Makes 3 Cups)

    • 1 Medium Beet
    • 1 15 Oz Can White Beans, rinsed and drained
    • 1 Large Garlic Clove, unpeeled
    • Juice of 1/2 Lemon (about 1/2 Tbsp)
    • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
    • 1 Tsp Salt

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.



    2. Wash beet well and place with garlic clove on a sheet of foil. Bring up sides of foil and fold to make a packet leaving room for heat to circulate inside the packet containing the beet and garlic.

    3. Bake for 45 minutes or until beet is tender when poked with a knife.

    4. Remove skin off of the garlic and the beet (I use a zip lock bag on my hand and slip the skin off so my hand doesn't turn red).

    5. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth.

    6. Serve.
