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.

Great taste! I used 2 cups of black beans that I had cooked from the dry beans. My whole family liked this! Next time I will cut the salt to 1/4 tsp. Read More

I made this exactly as the recipe said. This tasted really good but it is a bit runny. Perhaps it would be thicker if we didn't add the yogurt? Read More

Fantastic little snack! I just realized I used the last of the Greek Yogurt this am so I subbed cottage cheese. I used less tahini (I'm still new to it & getting used to it). Just a few shakes of sea salt. Really fresh tasting with the lemon. I really like it I'd like a little kick so I'm going to add in a bit of Cayenne. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

This was much better than I expected. I followed the recipe with no yogurt and after a quick taste test added more lemon juice and salt. I also added a dash of cumin and chipotle pepper flavor. I used the amount of olive oil to get the texture I wanted which was pretty creamy. I served it with tortilla chips but pita would work great as well as veggies. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

this was a big at my gathering. Has more of a "mexican flavor" rather than Greek because of the cumin. Read More

I substituted cottage cheese for the yogourt since I didn't have plain yogourt at home. I think this may have been a mistake since the hummus turned out very thick and pasty - my blender had a very difficult time with it and I ended up mashing a lot by hand. Overall not a great hummus but it was a good way to use up some extra black beans I had cooked. Read More

WAY too salty. Hard to get a feel for the actual taste because the salt overpowered everything. I may give it one more try without any salt added. Read More

This is fantastic! My new favorite recipe on allrecipes.com. My husband even liked it and he's not a bean fan. I was surprised by the salt issue that some reviewers had but then I realized that I only used it with veggies - not salty chips. I can see reducing the amount of tahini. I may experiment with herbs or salsa or olives. Yummy! Read More
