Recipe Variations and Serving Suggestions
- Adding a little Spice
- Feel free to add more red pepper if you like it spicy, but we recommend letting the olives be the dominant flavor.
- Try Other Types of Olives
- Another option is to use a different variety of olive… Spanish, Castelvetrano, Mission, and the list goes on. However, there is something special about the combination of Kalamata and fresh parsley.
We recommend serving this hummus with your favorite Mediterranean dishes such as falafel or anything with eggplant or pita. But no matter what you serve alongside this easy hummus, it is sure to be the star! Enjoy!
