Fantastic and super easy. I do recommend doubling the recipe if you are taking it to a party. I took the recommendation of another reviewer to toss in some lime juice as well. This will definitely be my "go to" appetizer of choice for a while!

Oh my! This stuff was good, but I truly kicked it up a notch! I went with: 3 cloves of garlic, 3 TBSP lemon juice, a full tsp. of cumin, and LOTS of hot pepper flakes, rather than the ground cayenne pepper. I never get around to garnishing; this is my favorite snack with garlic bagel chips or roasted garlic and black bean chips. I've even rolled it up with cheese, black olives, and sour cream in a tortilla and microwaved it briefly. One of my favorite foods of all time. It's never a guilty pleasure; just a pleasure!

Love the black bean hummus! Great even without some of the ingredients listed on here. What I did: 1 Can black beans, 2 cloves garlic, cumin & paprkika (about a teaspoon each), salt and pepper to taste, and enough olive oil that it would blend smooth. Tahini is too expensive, so i omitted, and i forgot about the lemon and remembered after I already put it away-- but it was still great. Instead of the olives (i didn't have greek) I used about 2 teaspoons of olive juice from a jar of green olives I had in the fridge. This is going to be my new go-to snack.

Very yummy. I used half black bean and half chick peas and lime juice. I omitted the cumin.

I was really disappointed after reading all the rave reviews. I thought it was way too salty! Next time I will use soaked black beans as opposed to the canned.

I have to start with the fact that I don't like black beans.....at all....but everyone talks about how good for you they are, so I thought I'd try something new. I am SHOCKED by how good this was! I did add extra cayenne and garlic and I put maybe a teaspoon of olive oil. Soooo good!

I didn't have tahini so I ground roasted sesame seeds in the magic bullet. Then added the rest of the ingredients...YUM! I even skipped the cayenne and it is delicious!!
