Have you ever been on your way home, SUPER hangry? Starving? Famished?

Me too!

Whenever I feel that way, it’s usually because I didn’t snack enough during the day. Snacking is SO vital to avoid binging before dinner or late at night. That’s why I’m ALWAYS on the search for delicious snacks!

A few years ago, Trader Joe’s introduced me to kalamata olive hummus and I was beyond obsessed.

Unfortunately, they no longer carry it so I created my own! Here’s how you can also make this homemade hummus with kalamata olives.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Feel free to add tahini, if you’d like. I personally don’t like the flavor of tahini for this kalamata olive hummus.

  • Chickpeas. Make sure to reserve 1/3 cup of the liquid when you are draining the can.
  • Kalamata olives. If you want to use black olives, you totally can. Just keep in mind, kalamata olives are a bit more bold, flavorful, and larger than green and black olives. Make sure the kalamata olives are pitted and drained.
  • Olive oil.
  • Lemon juice.
  • Garlic, minced
  • Cumin, parsley, black pepper, salt to taste. Remember the olives are already salty so don’t go too crazy with the salt.

How To Make Homemade Kalamata Olive Hummus

  • Measure out all your ingredients. The process always seems to go by faster when I do this.
  • Blend the ingredients. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until creamy slowly adding enough of the reserved liquid until creamy.
  • Serve the kalamata olive hummus. Serve with warm mini pita bread (cut into triangles), pita chips, or homemade tortilla chips.
  • Store the hummus. You can also divide the hummus into mini storage containers.

This has become my go-to snack. So filling and super satisfying. It’s hard not to eat the WHOLE thing!
