Dips and Spreads Recipe ⋇ Black Bean Hummus with Tahini

I made this as a quick fix when I realized I had no garbanzo beans in the pantry! It is a creamier variation on traditional Middle Eastern hummus using black beans instead of garbanzo beans. Serve with bread or tortilla chips.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• ¼ cup tahini paste
• ¼ cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon olive oil, for drizzling

Cooking Directions

1. Combine the black beans, tahini, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt in the bowl of a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Chill 1 hour before serving. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil to garnish.
