Time to time an inspiration finds me by itself and push to create something tasty in my kitchen. Yesterday the impulse came from the school needs. For the school year end party parents have to choose something from the list prepared by teachers and bring it to the school. As I came late the only thing left on the list was hummus. Certainly it would be easy to buy hummus in the shop or restaurant, but it is not me! I can’t just buy, I have to make it!

And here it is! Beetroot and strawberry hummus. Yummy!!!!
