Of all the tartines I devoured, my absolute favorite was an artichoke, sundried tomato, and tapenade tartine at the lovely Cuisine de Bar.
I enjoyed it so much, Cuisine de Bar was one of the few restaurants we repeated. Today’s hummus tartine is my at-home version of Cuisine de Bar’s recipe. They’re healthy, endlessly adaptable, and alleviating my separation anxiety from France. Over the past two weeks, I’ve been eating some version of a tartine for lunch almost every day.

Strawberry Black Bean Salad. Some things just naturally go together swimmingly. Effortlessly. Like cheese + crackers. Summer + corn on the cob. Cake + birthdays. Pizza + movie night. Chocolate + ladies. Those pairings need no explanation. It’s when you venture into the strange world of things like strawberries + black beans that you have to explain yourself. I promise you that this salad is as delicious as it is strange – and that’s saying a lot because it sounds pretty strange.
