Vibrant No Oil Beet Hummus (V+GF)

If you want to add more color to your plate along with flavor try this beet hummus recipe. I love the bright pink color of this hummus it really transforms and beautifies all my salads, wraps, and roasted veggie bowls.

Oil is of course totally optional here for consistency, I prefer just to add a little on top if I am making this for a party or trying to present the dip nicely.
