Fabulous! Almost like a garlicky hummus spread with a twist. The beet and nuts really combine well with the garbanzos to add depth of flavor. And I was surprised at how one little beet can turn things a bright raspberry pink! This partners perfectly with Recipe#78738 sprinkled with cumin, salt and pepper. Thanks, WeBees!
