So with black bean humus the only thing different is the blackness?

Not true Otis. Ted Danson and probably ole geauxt went back.

You can make hummus with most beans. I've done lentils and white beans before. Everything else is the same.

I've tried several beans, the best alternate bean I've used are black-eyes peas. Red and black beans are too "creamy" and the resulting hummus is a little gluey for my taste. But you may like it, enjoy. Pinto beans work well also.
