Ingredients
  

For the Hummus
  • 1 cup Cooked Beets Canned beets can be used for quick prep.
  • 1/4 cup Tahini Can be swapped for sunflower seed butter.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Lime juice can be used as an alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Avocado oil can be used for a lighter touch.
  • 1 clove Garlic Reduce or omit for a milder taste.
For the Cheese Web
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Soften for easier spreading.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Can use Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 1/4 cup Black Olives Use whole olives for a bold look.

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Piping bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the cooked beets, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil into a food processor. Blend these ingredients on high until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed, and taste to adjust seasoning.
  2. Transfer the vibrant Bloody Beet Hummus to a serving bowl, setting the scene for a spooky delight.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sour cream until well combined and smooth. Using a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small cut corner, carefully draw a spider web pattern on top of the beet hummus.
  4. Next, slice black olives to form the shapes of spiders, or use the whole olives for a more bold look. Place the olive spiders strategically on the cheese web.
  5. Finally, arrange an assortment of dippers such as fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or crackers around the bowl of Bloody Beet Hummus with Cheese Web.
