Black Bean Hummus

I’ve got a recipe to share with y’all today: black bean hummus…MMMM!

I shared this black bean hummus recipe over the weekend with Brooke on her blog. Special thanks to her for letting me take her blog over for the weekend. 🙂  I wanted to share it with you guys too!

Part of the fun of developing recipes is revamping old classics. Today I take my roasted garlic hummus recipe, and I change up the flavors to give it more of a Latin flare!

Instead of chickpeas, I use black beans. Instead of lemon juice, I use lime. And I change up the spices to give it more of a Latin flavor.

While I am not vegan, vegetarian or gluten free, some of my recipes happen to be, like this one. So file this one away for when you are entertaining the herbivores! 😉

If I am serving it for a crowd, I’ll drizzle a little EVOO on top…noms! It doesn’t take much, only half a teaspoon or so.

And then I sprinkle the cilantro on top. I serve a little snack tray with veggies and tortilla chips.

So go make yourself some black bean hummus!
