Don’t adjust your screens that is indeed a hot pink hue to the hummus. Don’t be alarmed it isn’t chemically altered it’s hue comes from robust roasted red beets. However, Roasted Pink Beet Hummus didn’t happen to have the same ring to it. If you know me you know that pink is my most favorite color on the planet. It also happens to be the color that is associated with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I’m partnering with my friends at KitchenAid to help bring awareness for breast cancer research. KitchenAid’s has a long-standing partnership with Susan G. Komen® for the Cure (they’ve helped them raise over 9 million dollars for breast cancer research to date) and we’re thrilled to be doing our small part by participating in the “Pass the Plate” program

It starts with a unique Villeroy & Boch plate designed by Jacques Pepin. The idea of the program is to register your plate on KitchenAid’s website, make a dish, serve it on the plate and then “Pass” it to a friend. Easy right? The friend would then register their plate on KitchenAid’s website, make a dish, serve it on the plate and “Pass” it to another friend. This can go on forever (and we hope it does). Each Time someone new registers the plate, KitchenAid donates $5 to Susan G. Komen®. It’s as easy as that.

I chose to make a hot pink inspired version of hummus using roasted beets. It’s simple, dynamic and delicious. Want a chance to join me and the many others who’ve  “passed the plate”?

    This plate would be perfect for my friend who is
    a breast cancer survivor. I would give it to her
    and her husband with strawberry bread served on it…
    Many thanks, Cindi

    Why would you ever use aluminum foil when cooking, and talking about cancer in the same breath. Aluminum transfers to the food while cooking.

    I’m trying to find your roasted beet sauce recipe. I was directed to this post from your recipe on pasta with creamy roasted beet sauce. However, when I got to the page there was no recipe. HELP???
