Black Bean Hummus

So…ya, this is definitely a kid-approved recipe.  Because it didn’t even survive the photo shoot.  She ate almost the whole bowl.  A twist on conventional hummus, because I know some (crazy) people don’t like chickpeas, the bean used to make normal hummus.  Clearly, I love chickpeas–check out my Chickpea, How I Love Thee post–but this is a very smooth and mild-tasting hummus.  It was too mild for my husband–if that’s the case when you make it, try adding a little red cayenne pepper and some extra paprika.
