Black Bean Hummus

Hummus should be a staple in any healthy household. Its smooth, creamy consistency and flavorful goodness make it a nourishing alternative to condiments like cream cheese or mayo. Black beans have a soft, yet hearty consistency that blends well with lemon juice, garlic, and tahini to create a savory spread that’s lower in calories and fat and contains much more fiber than its ancient, chickpea-centric cousin.

Bonus: Throw all the ingredients in a food processor, blend and eat. No actual cooking required. Easy, chick-peasy!

Given the carb content of beans, try serving this rich black bean hummus with vegetables such as celery, bell pepper, or jicama, or use it as a sauce for a lettuce-wrapped sandwich. But most importantly, get creative! Want a white hummus? Sub great northern beans. Don’t like black beans? Use pinto. You get the idea.
