Beets are one of my favorite vegetables. I love them in salad, on
the side with my dinner or just as a simple little snack. Needless to
say when I spotted the Trader Joe's Beet Hummus I was immediately intrigued and had to incorporate it into my week.
Due
to the sheer deep purple shade to the hummus I believed 1) you'd have
to undoubtedly love beets to enjoy it and 2) you'd have to really love
hummus/chick peas in order to enjoy this. Upon first taste that theory
was very much true. The hummus is blended with with fresh beets - while
there are little diced up pieces on top of the hummus mixture for some
added flare/texture.
Texture wise it's slightly
"gritty" and not as smooth as traditional hummus. While there is a
slight graininess to the dish, it is thinner in consistency. It's not
runny, but it's certainly not as thick as your traditional or even
flavored hummus dishes. I enjoyed the hummus alongside a protein-filled
salad. Delicious and quite unique!
