I love black beans and so do my kids! They also love hummus. I make my own hummus once in awhile, but I buy a lot of pre-made hummus too. Make sure to check the ingredients on the one you buy to ensure it only contains olive oil, not soybean oil. I was bummed when I realized that one I had been buying a lot contained soybean oil. Not only is soybean oil a poor choice, but you can bet it is genetically-modified soy. My kids eat way too much hummus to have that as a staple in our house! So I buy Holyland instead. They sell it at Costco which is a bonus! There are many small brands I like too, because they are made with high-quality ingredients.
But my point today is about black bean dip! I would call it black bean hummus, but without the chickpeas and tahini, it’s not technically hummus anymore! I love tahini, even eating it as a dip by itself. But it can be expensive. Especially when you go through it as quickly as I do! So, I set out to make a yummy black bean tahini-less hummus dip. It’s good to switch up your beans, and any bean dip is super simple to make if you have a food processor or blender. I use my Vitamix. Not shocking, I know, I use my Vitamix for everything!
This would be a good one to make for the Superbowl! Much healthier than store-bought dips. Let me know what you think of this one!
