A snack that's both spooky and scrumptious!
This creepy hummus dish is perfect for a Fall party. The hummus gets its ruby red color from beets, and this recipe offers a touch of sweetness and a lot of savory creaminess. Peel carrots and add to the hummus to create a hand reaching up from the dip. Super spooky!
Serve Blood Red Beet Hummus with Carrot Fingers with whole-wheat pretzels or whole wheat pita chips and some crunchy vegetables for some scary scooping.
