Vegan Holiday Hummus Platter with Olive Oils from Spain

This vegan holiday hummus platter is brimming with seasonal colors and flavors. Zesty cilantro white bean hummus is swirled with savory beet hummus and topped with pomegranate seeds, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil from Spain to create a red-and-green spread fit for a celebration.

The most common recipe request I receive this time of year is for quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing holiday appetizers.

With the seemingly nonstop hustle in December, it's no wonder we're all searching for ways to simplify.

Whether you're hosting the celebration this year and in the midst of planning out a massive holiday spread, or you're simply searching for a festive appetizer to bring to a potluck, this hummus platter is sure to please without adding any undue stress to the occasion.

Vegan Holiday Hummus Platter

This vegan holiday hummus platter comes together with four simple steps.

1. Prepare the cilantro white bean hummus.

2. Prepare the beet hummus.

3. Gently swirl both hummuses together and generously garnish/top.

4. Serve the hummus alongside vegetables, crackers, etc.

Vegan Holiday Hummus Platter

To make the cilantro white bean hummus, add the following to a food processor:

» Cannellini beans

» Cilantro (or parsley if you prefer)

» Fresh lemon juice

» Tahini

Process for 3–4 minutes, or until super smooth and creamy.

Once the hummuses have been prepared, scoop both into a bowl and very subtly swirl together.

Then, top with lots of juicy pomegranate seeds, pistachios (or nut/seed of choice), fresh herbs, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

      Absolutely! You may just need to add a touch of water or more oil if it’s on the thick side. Cannellini beans tend to be a bit softer and easier to blend than garbanzo. Enjoy!

      Hi, Adele! You'll want to click the link to the full recipe near the bottom of the post. The precise ingredient list is displayed in the right column once you click through. It's about 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro/parsley and 3/4 cup raw beets. Enjoy!
