Posted by How important is color in your life? When it comes to food, eating colorful food ensures a healthy diet.
My food is my canvas, and I love adding my tweaks to it. Sometimes it leaves me surprised and at times disappointed. One of my favorite dip that I love to experiment with is Hummus. Every time I would add something new to alter the taste, keeping the essence of hummus as such.
Adding roasted or cooked beet lends texture, gorgeous color, and a subtle taste. In this recipe, I also added some feta cheese to get some creaminess.
In the absence of feta, you could use hung curd (say 11/2 tbsp) and adjust the salt.
I use this dip as such or spread it over the sliders, sandwiches, and even over my naan pizza.
Hope you like it.
