Another 'hummus' dip but instead of using chickpeas or black beans, this recipes uses a can of black-eye peas and lime juice. I also had some fresh cilantro which I added instead of spices.
All three kinds of hummus dip featured in this blog are quite similar in their nutritional content - about 100 calories per ~65g / ~2oz serving. They don't have any cholesterol and contain less than 1g sugar, if any at all! 13g carbohydrates and 4-6g protein, with black-eyed peas offering a little more protein than chickpeas or black beans. The chickpea hummus has a little more fat, due to the 2tbsp olive oil. 1tbsp oil can be replaced with a tablespoon of bean juice or water to keep fat at 3g per serving.
I prefer to use canned beans with no added salt but sometimes I can't get all varieties of beans with low sodium. The black bean hummus only has 7mg sodium per serving whereas the other two dips have ~170mg per serving. No added salt makes a big difference in nutritional health and very little difference in flavour.
