If I’m being honest, I’ve always hated olives. The taste, the texture… just bleh! It wasn’t until this last summer when we had a picnic with our friends that I had a huge breakthrough. Olive tapenade hummus. It was delicious. It was smooth, mild in flavor, with a salty kick from the olives. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the no-olive-lifestyle. I wanted to replica this delicious hummus, so here it is!

Here’s what you’ll need…

Chickpeas

Olives

Olive Oil

Crushed Red Pepper

Tahini
