Kidney Bean and Beet Hummus + Beet Margaritas

With the release of the new Barbie movie just around the corner, we asked ourselves what SIMPLi dishes would we bring to her cookout? We created two vibrant recipes inspired by Barbie's signature color: pink! Barbie has always been known for her colorful lifestyle, and we hope these Barbie-themed recipes bring that same sense of joy and playfulness to your next cookout. This Kidney Bean & Beet Hummus paired with this Beet Margarita with a SIMPLi Peruvian Pink Salt Rim are fun and refreshing twists on classic recipes. Cheers!
