Black Bean Hummus
Oh, no-- not just a regular hummus. This, my friends, is a hummus with texture and southwestern-ish flavor. The corn gives you something to chew on, the cumin brings out the flavor of the black beans, and classic hummus ingredients like tahini keep it creamy.
As far as dips go, you can't get much healthier: dairy-free, all sorts of plant protein, antioxidants, the folate amd magnesium of black beans, and so on. Serve it with tortilla chips, whole grain crackers or crudite, slathered onto a sandwich, or plopped unceremoniously on top of a salad.

What a coincidence! I'm sitting here writing up my next blog post...a black bean hummus! Yours looks lovely--I like the idea of using corn in it. I'll have to give it a try.
