Yum! I absolutely adore Hummus! It brings back so many memories of when I was a little girl and lived in ADANA, TURKEY (Adana is in the southern part of Turkey)!
My mom would buy me some Hummus and give me a chunk of Bread. I would then tear off a peice of Bread, dip it into the Hummus, and eat it up. 
I’ve never tried BLACK BEAN Hummus before! I have got to try this!

I’ve been meaning to make my own hummus for so long now. I have all the ingredients ready to go but just haven’t found the time! Black bean hummus is something I’ve never heard of or seen. It looks great. Thanks for sharing!
I love hummus but never paired it black beans. Thanks for another fab recipe
What a great idea! I’m not a fan of chickpea, but love black beans.
Two of my favorite things! I must try this very soon, it looks delicious!
I love bean dips! My favorite is a white bean/ricotta one but this looks delicious, too!
Oohh, I love hummus

I’ve made this today for my Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow and I LOVE it! I’ve made an extra-large batch so I’ll have some left to take home, but I’m definitely going to make it more often. Thanks for the recipe!
