Ingredients
  

For the Hummus Base
  • 2 cups Cooked Beets This vibrant vegetable lends a beautiful color and rich earthiness to your dip.
  • 1 can Canned Chickpeas Drain and rinse before using for the best texture.
  • ¼ cup Tahini Provides a nutty flavor; can be substituted with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh juice is preferred for maximum zing.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Adjust based on your preference for garlickiness.
For the Cheese Web
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese The classic choice for a creamy texture; use vegan cream cheese for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (or Plant-Based Milk) Helps to soften the cream cheese for easier spreading.
For Garnish
  • ¼ cup Black Olives Opt for sliced olives to create 'spider eyes.'
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs A sprinkle of parsley or cilantro can elevate the look and flavor.

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the Hummus Base: Blend cooked beets, drained and rinsed canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor until smooth.
  2. Create the Cheese Web: Mix cream cheese and milk in a bowl until smooth and spreadable, then create a spider web design on the hummus.
  3. Garnish with Black Olives: Slice olives and arrange them on the cheese web to resemble spider eyes.
  4. Chill the Hummus: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Serve with Assorted Dippers: Transfer to a platter and arrange dippers like veggie sticks or pita chips.
  6. Display Creatively: Add Halloween-themed decorations around the platter for a spooky touch.
