Method

  • step 1

    Toast the bread – if the slices are quite long, halve them first.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, tip the chickpeas into a bowl with half the beetroot, the lemon juice, garlic and oil, and blitz with a stick blender to make hummus. Spread on the toast, top with the remaining beetroot and scatter with feta, olives and mint.

RECIPE TIPS
PACKED LUNCH

If making a packed lunch, toast the bread and keep the hummus separate from the beetroot, olives and mint.

We love this recipe. It's so simple yet so tasty. The flavour combinations work really well together. I'd like to make this in advance. How long will it keep in the fridge and is it freezable please?

Hi, thanks for your question. The beetroot hummus will keep covered in the fridge for 3-4 days. It could also be frozen successfully, although may have a slightly different texture on defrosting (defrost it in the fridge overnight). We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Left off the feta as I'm vegan, but otherwise this was a really nice recipe. I often eat toast with toppers, but hadn't thought of using beetroot. It was a nice change, especially with the mint - a fresh, lightweight lunch. Could also be dressed down (just the toast, hummus, beetroot and mint) and…

This made a gorgeous lunch. I used Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall's beetroot and walnut hummus recipe which I know is delicious and added all the extra trimmings as above. My husband isn't a huge fan of beetroot but he really enjoyed this.

I really liked this, though I'm not sure if my proportions were quite right, but it has given me indigestion. My tummy has been grumbling since lunch, and I can still taste the garlic. I've got masses left too!

I made this for lunch yesterday and having it again today. I also made the seeded soda bread which was really tasty and went well with the humous.Would have it again.
