Hello beet hummus & smashed avo toast!
It’s so simple to whip up in minutes. If you’re really struck for time you can even buy the pre-cooked ready-to-go beetroot from the supermarket (you’ll usually find it in the fresh vege fridge with the salad bags). I don’t want to toot my own horn here but this dip is super delicious. I’ve made it many times for friends and they all agree its better than the store bought varieties.
