Black Bean Hummus

Hummus is traditionally made with chickpeas, but now that we’ve tried it with black beans we might like this velvety-rich version even better. Pack some into a small container and try it in your lunchbox with carrot sticks and celery, or be daring and pair it with cheese or turkey in a sandwich.
