This Miso Beetroot Hummus is a perfect healthy appetizer dip to have at your gatherings. Hummus is traditionally made with tahini, a paste made out of sesame seeds, but in this recipe we're substituting it with white miso paste. The umami notes pairs beautifully with the earthy flavor of the beets.

Ingredients
- Chickpeas: I use canned here for convenience but if you're willing to cook your own chickpeas you surely won't go wrong!
- Beets: If you're pressed on time, you can find already cooked beets from the supermarket.
- Miso: I use white miso here for its milder and sweeter flavor than other miso's. Here''s an article from Cook's Illustrated outlining the differences of each kind of miso.
- Garnish: I use dill here for garnish. You can even roast some chickpeas for garnish. To do this, coat them in olive oil and roast them at the same time as the beets for 20 minutes until they're crunchy.

It's a unique twist to the classic hummus. My friends and family who said they don't really enjoy beets said they enjoyed this recipe!
