    You know how fun it is having a party (or attending) and there is a casual spread that is laid out buffet style? Dips, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and dessert?

    Well, it must be a holiday!

    Today I am going to help add to the dip section. Best Kalamata Hummus will be different from all the other dips and it will go with all of the crackers and crudities.

    Besides being a great dip - classic hummus can be switched up in so many ways. I am still running across new recipes all the time. This time around kalamata olives are being added.

    Even though I have made this hummus many times before this time I am giving you the quickest version and at no loss in taste.

    Kalamata is one of my favorite olives. It has a bold tang that really adds a nice Mediterranean touch. Traditionally I have seen them as a tapenade and, believe me, that is good too.

    The simplicity of this recipe has developed as I have made it over the years.

    This kalamata hummus is worthy to be on your new favorite's list.  It’s:

    • Super flavorful
    • Savory
    • High of protein
    • Mega healthy
    • Satisfying
    • Seriously delicious

    Best Kalamata Hummus is piled high in a flat handles bowl and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. A pretzel log is scooping up some goodness.
    I use to make it in steps. This first, and then that, and then drizzle the olive oil in at the very last. I've found out that all that really isn't necessary.

    Now, everything into the processor at once and blend.

    It's that easy. I said it takes 10 minutes but that might even include the cleanup. Just kidding about that but it is fast.

    My husband's favorite chip/cracker/dipper at the moment are pretzel rods. He says they hold lots of dip without wiping out the whole bowl. So polite, he is.

    I'm trying to figure out if you were attracted to this recipe because it's a dip or hummus, or for the kalamata olives. I want to tell you about something else I made and I'm hoping to get it right.

    How about Artichoke Chipotle Hummus? Did I get it right? It's some pretty good stuff and you can use pretzel logs with this appetizer dip too.

      I love olives so much that getting them into the hummus would be difficult without eating them all!

      This is delicious! I was short on lemon juice so added a splash of red wine vinegar. And a little red pepper for kick.
