Red beet hummus boasts a creamy texture, nuttiness from sesame tahini, a bite of fresh garlic, and a little tang from lemon juice. This Middle Eastern staple is an ideal appetizer or snack served with pita bread and briny olives, but it's also a mainstay in sandwiches and wraps. Layered alongside deli meats, crisp veggies, and sprouts, hummus shines as a substitute for mayonnaise or mustard.
