It’s the spookiest time of the year! And we’re here to celebrate it with a beautiful spread that’s bloody tasty. Everyone knows that candy is the main star of this holiday, but I find most Halloween party spreads are a little too heavy on the sweet side of things. Why not give your guests something savory to nosh on instead? Today we’re making (bloody) beet-pickled crudités with (dirty) black sesame hummus – spooky, right? This recipe is actually super-healthy, so you won’t feel too bloated in your cute Halloween costume.

This version of ceviche is a bit of a mix between the classic recipe and aguachile, which is a different kind of ceviche from the northern states in Mexico (aguachile is quite hip right now). The main difference is that it uses fresh water shrimp and habanero and it’s served in more of the curing liquid.
