black bean hummus sandwich.


i am a total chickpea-aholic and there are times when i feel i overuse it and neglect the other legumes. so with this latest meal i tried to give the chickpea a break and go another direction, a southwestern take on the old middle eastern favorite. hummus is wonderfully easy to make and keeps well in the fridge so you can throw together a sandwich anytime. also makes a great dish to transport to a potluck!
