"Great dip to serve with toasted pita wedges, veggies, or chunks of grainy bread. I have friends who prefer this to "real" hummus."

Perfect blend of ingredients. So similar to my regular hummous recipe that I had to take a second glance. The blacks beans offset the garlic and the other spices beautifully. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe. CG -
This is a great, easy recipe! I especially like the instruction \ -
this is excellent. i cut back on the cumin and poured a little olive oil on top with a little paprika for color.speaking of color, the hummus was purple, but i teased people and them it was Poi. It did not stop people from finishing it. -
Excellent, made to use for a homemade Southwestern Chicken Flatbread. Also used Recipe #376009 for the sauce. Turned out great with homemade flatbread. Will love using the leftovers. -
My first time to make "black bean" hummus and it's very tasty. Can't wait for it to sit overnight so the flavors will really come together. I added another clove of garlic, some additional tahini and cumin and I added a little olive oil to thin it out as there was no bean liquid in my canned beans. Will definitely keep this recipe on my hummus go-to list.

This was wonderful!! I used olive oil instead of the extra bean juice and also added 2 tablespoons of honey. The flavors were wonderful!! Super easy and tasty!

Just made this wonderful hummus!! I made it first without the olives, as many of the reviews posted were with no olives. It was good. I then added the olives, and wow... what a difference! I highly recommend the olives. I also substituted the Tahini with peanut butter. I think I'll use a little less paprika next time..got a little heavy handed. This is incredibly flavorful hummus!!
