Total time: 15 min • Prep: 15 min • Cook: 0 min • Serves: 8 • Difficulty: Easy

Beets and chickpeas unite in this universally loved spread, producing a beautiful pink-hued dip that’s full of flavor. You can purchase cooked beets in the produce section or use canned varieties for the quickest and easiest preparation. Tahini, a thick paste made from sesame seeds, has an earthy, nutty flavor that is a key ingredient in hummus. You can find it on the international aisle of most supermarkets. Since tahini is high in oil, you’ll want to store it in the refrigerator after you open it to prevent it from going rancid quickly. Serve this hummus with crudités, baked chips, or pita wedges.
