Kalamata Olive Hummus

Tips

• You may want to taste the hummus after adding ¼ cup kalamata olives to see how you like it, and add more to your liking. I personally love the briny olives so I added a lot.
• I included water as optional because the olives add liquid, and if you use it right away you won't need any water. If you use it after it sits in the fridge overnight it will thicken up a little.

Serving

• with a vegan charcuterie board
• on a sandwich
• with veggies
• with pita chips or pita bread (if you find a good vegan gluten free brand let me know!)
