Black Bean Hummus

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

For Day 2 of “Hip Hip for Hummus Week”, thought we’d branch out past the traditional chickpea to its cousin — the black bean!

I’m happy to say that in a taste-test this past weekend of some experimental hummus recipes, my next-door neighbor, friend, and fellow foodie, Kathleen, voted this one her favorite. (Which, as a total sidenote, I should mention that she is a vegan. And we had the fun realization that nearly all of the hummus recipes this week are vegan-friendly – yay!)

But I definitely agree! Although pureed black beans may not be the loveliest, I guarantee this recipe will surprise you with its delightful flavor! From the fresh cilantro, to the onion, to the cumin and cayenne (which I recommend using) — this is a fresh and savory hummus recipe that will have you coming back for more…and more…and more… :)

Ali’s Tip:

In addition to being a great dip, this would also be a perfect spread for sandwiches, quesadillas or wraps!

  1. I’m really excited to try this one. I don’t think I’ve ever had black bean hummus. Where have I been?

  2. Ali,

    Nice work with the black bean hummus. I like to add a bit of fresh jalapeno to mine, and definitely prefer lime juice over lemon for this application.

  3. I have used a nearly identical concoction as the beans on salmon tostadas – got the idea from EatingWell.com and it was delicious!

  4. I fell in love with hummus this weekend at costco and now I cant wait to make this one, I love most things with blackbeans in them so this looks great
    Do you have a jalapeno spinach hummus recipe by any chance?

    • Hey Jessica!

      That’s awesome! Ha…Costco can make you fall in love with all sorts of things! :)

      And actually, that’s hilarious. My recipe for Saturday is going to be a spicy spinach hummus. So stay tuned!!

  5. I made this hummus the night I saw it on here because it sounded wonderful! And it was wonderful! We’ve finished it in only a few days! It took me a few bites to get over my traditional idea of hummus, but once I did I realized how much better this was! Going to try another hummus recipe tonight!

  6. Does anybody have any suggestions I canuse to replace tahini with. I want to keep it as low calorie as possible.

  7. Wonderful!
