Tips:

- Allow the beets to cool before blending to avoid melting the other ingredients and to achieve a smoother texture.
- Adjust the lemon juice and salt according to your taste preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more if necessary.
- For a creamier consistency, consider adding a tablespoon of water or olive oil while blending the hummus.
- Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds or fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
