This black-eyed pea dip decidedly does not. This is hummus inspired, a Tennesseean translation. Festive black-eyed pea hummus, just in time to welcome in the New Year with a healthy dose of good luck! (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free) As a self-proclaimed hummus queen, I could not let the new year come and go without giving hummus a try with black-eyed peas instead of chickpeas. I've experimented with vegan Hoppin' John and loved it, but this year, I'm trying a new black-eyed pea recipe: spicy harissa black-eyed pea dip. This creamy, flavorful dip is a wonderful, seasonal alternative to hummus, proof that nearly any legume can be whipped into a satisfying spread.
