Bright, fresh and zingy twist on classic hummus. Perfect for snack boards and sandwiches. This hummus has a bright, sweet and slightly earthy undertone from the vibrant and healthy beet.
In a small pot add the beet and enough water to cover and boil for 15-20 minutes until beet is soft. Then run under cool water and peel the beet. The peel comes right off when cooked this way.
Put beet, garlic, chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and cumin into the blender and blend until smooth and creamy. You may add a bit more oil or even water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
When serving, drizzle a little more olive oil on top and garnish with sesame seeds or everything but the bagel seasoning for the ultimate in dipping.

Notes
If you like a mellower garlic flavor, roast the garlic first.
