It's also really good, in my opinion, with a can of black beans added to the mix. Just drain them well and add to the mixer. They don't add much to the calories or anything and do wonders for the flavor.

yup! You can also try fava beans if you can track them down. Its a great general recipe because you can play with it in a ton of ways. You can also remove the beans entirely and use roasted eggplant and tadaaaa, you've got baba ghanouj

I make mine very similarly, but I completely omit the olive oil and I really don't miss it. I love hummus!
