It is harvest season here at Allamakee and boy do we have a bounty! In clearing the garden beds for a winter planting, we harvested beautiful beets and krafty kohlrabi to be used by the Waukon Middle School Cooking Club. We also pulled a few surprise carrots from the beds!
Colorful and delicious beet hummus!
With beets, kohlrabi and carrots in hand, we decided to make a simple beet hummus and cut up the kohlrabi and carrots for dipping! See below for the quick and easy recipe!
