Indian Spiced Beet Hummus
Homemade hummus with a touch of our signature condiment, Indian Spiced Pickled Beet Relish - it not only turns this hummus into a bright pink dip but adds a nice subtle aromatic spiced beet taste to the hummus. I topped this with a quick and easy mint walnut pesto and drizzled it with olive oil prior to serving. Tasty and flavorful, this beet hummus can be served with crackers, vegetables, pita or naan. It's also delicious when used as a veggie sandwich spread.
