Olives are the perfect ingredient to add to hummus. The flavors of this kalamata olive hummus recipe really compliment each other, making a delicious variation of traditional Middle Eastern hummus.

Reviewer:
“We tasted this and needed to add a few extra ingredients to make it a 5 star recipe. The flavors need to meld for at least an hour. We ended up adding 2 cloves of garlic, a small handful of cilantro and more oil and water as it was really thick. But we had so many compliments and everyone at the party gobbled it up"

• 1/2 cup kalamata olives
