Vegan Beet Hummus
This beet hummus is absolutely incredible. Serve it with vegetables or crackers, or slather on sandwiches and wraps.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

Servings 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup cubed beets, peeled
- 1/2 cup chopped leek
- Filtered water (for cooking beets and leeks)
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
