Start blending again and add olive oil slowing into mixture while it is blending

Notes
I serve this with crackers, wrapped up in collard greens or just plain with vegetables. It’s a little sweet in nature because of the beets and carrots. If you don’t like sweet and just want plain jane hummus just use the “Basic” ingredients listed above and omit the rest and add a few fresh herbs like parsley.
You could easily make this more tangy or salty by omitting the beets and carrots and using olives or artichokes instead.
Sometimes I like making it green and use arugula, basil & pine nuts – it ends up tasting like Pesto!
