Vanessa's Delicious Black Bean Hummus
This is a great dip; the black beans have a great consistency and coupled with the smoked paprika they have an oakey edge to them. It is beautifully tangy from the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, with creaminess from the tahini. This dish is perfect as a side to any meal, as a snack or for party entertaining.
