Bright Lemon Pickled Beet Hummus - cures your current craving for all things fresh, crisp, flavorful and bright. Perfectly Pink for Valentines!
Bright Lemon Pickled Beet Hummus
Can you tell I am ready for springtime?
or maybe by the looks of this, Valentines Day?
I do love me a love holiday. But - spring. My favorite time of year, just ahead of fall. By a tiny bit. Now that the holidays are over, I am done with cold snuggly weather and I want sunshine and fresh air.
We have had a nice tease of sunshine the last couple days. I know it is not going to last - the Portland rain is returning in a matter of days. It was just enough of a jolt to get me outside for a run, and open the windows to get fresh air inside.
...and now I am craving some fresh crunchy veggies.
We had plenty of comfort food over the holidays.
Those incredible Portobellingtons.
That pile of rich spaghetti.
and that dip.
Oh so good, and I cannot wait for the next visit of each of those dishes. At the same time, I am definitely craving fresh and crunch. Color and flavor. Bright and vibrant.
This Bright Lemon Pickled Beet Hummus hits every mark.
This Bright Lemon Pickled Beet Hummus recipe is basically a fuchsia fusion between my Easy Pickled Beets and Sarah's Lemon Miso Hummus. So tasty good.
(Speaking of getting out for a run, that post about Sarah's hummus is an oldie but a goodie. Nice to think back to sherpa days with my friends.)
