Beet Hummus

This is a great recipe to serve with steamed vegetables, spread onto toast, dollop onto frittata muffins or eat with a baby spoon. This hummus is packed with all of the good stuff : iron, protein, fiber and antioxidants. It’s also a great way to introduce baby to sesame, a potential allergen. For older babies and adults, add salt to taste.
