Questions

How long does Beet Hummus keep?

Refrigerate it in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.

Yes. As written it serves 8. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
