This salsa may be really simple to prepare, but it packs a punch in terms of taste and is always a huge hit at parties. The recipe is based on one I saw on Rick Bayless' show, I did however, add a few things to jazz it up a bit. And I (and anyone who has tried it) can tell you this stuff is amazing. Add some homemade tortilla chips and this will be the hit of any party!

Beetroot. You either love it or you hate it. There really isn't an in between. I hated it as a kid, and would dread the days my grandmother served it up for dinner. Somehow though, I have grown to love it. If you are like me and have honed your inner beetroot lover, then you need to give this recipe a try. The beetroot taste is of course front and center in this recipe, but it isn't too over-powering, and honestly, just look at how beautiful it is. I brought this to a potluck recently and it was a huge hit (surprisingly, I must admit!).

Beetroot Hummus Recipe
vegan, gluten-free, plant-based, refined sugar-free

Ingredients: 
  • 2-3 beets
  • 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • Corn tortillas

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°C.
  2. Wash beets and cut off ends, wrap in foil and roast in the oven for 1 hour.
  3. While the beets are roasting, cut the corn tortillas into triangles, place on baking sheet and bake 8-10min. Depending on the size of the pack you may need to do this a couple of times to make the desired amount. 
  4. After 1 hour, take out the beets, let cool and then peel.
  5. Add all the ingredients (except the tortillas) to a food processor and process until smooth. 
  6. Serve with the baked corn tortillas.
