I needed something quick and I had black beans so I picked this recipe. Alas, seems I had little else. So, here's the way I changed it up. I didn't have any lemon juice (used lime), tahini paste (used toasted sesame seed oil), or greek olives. I did, however, have some mission fig, kalamata olive tapenade, so I threw in a couple of big spoonfuls of that. IT WAS FANTASTIC! - I added another big dollop of the tapenade on top for a garnish and sprinkled the paprika. I don't know what hummus is supposed to taste like, I've never had it. But if this is anything near to the real deal - then I didn't do too badly.
