Notes
- You can add reserved chickpea water or water to adjust the consistency of hummus. Make sure, the hummus should have a grainy texture, thick but not runny.
- This homemade beets hummus stays fresh for 3 to 5 days, if it is covered well in the refrigerator. If using less garlic or lemon juice you use for this recipe then much longer the hummus will remain fresh.
- You can refrigerate hummus or use immediately. I always like to serve it at room temperature.
- Traditionally it is eaten with pita bread, but you can feel free to serve it with chips or sliced veggies of your choice.
