Use Canned Chickpeas OR Cook From Scratch
This olive hummus without tahini is great because you can use either canned chickeas, or cook them from scratch. I usually use my Instant Pot to make perfectly cooked chickpeas (no soaking required!) which are ready in 35 minutes. If you are using canned, make sure to get a “no salt added” variety to cut down on the sodium!
What’s In This Simple Olive Hummus Recipe?
- Kalamata Olives: make sure they are pitted! I love the rich briney flavor of these herby kalamata olives, which have a purple hue and a really nice flavor. These Greek olives are fantastic for adding to salads, to dips, or just as a quick snack. I like to use these olive packs, which are great for when you need a handful of olives like in this dish.
- Green Olives with Pimento: classic green olives have a great color and delicious earthy flavor – I like using these green olive with pimento packs, which are great for recipes that need just a few olives.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this delicious Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- No Salt Added Chickpeas: the staple of all hummuses! You can use canned chickpeas (I’d highly recommend a low sodium or no salt version), or you can make your own chickpeas from scratch in the Instant Pot.
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to the hummus.
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! if you don’t like spice, you can absolutely skip them in this recipe.
- Lemon Juice: Fresh only, for flavor. Use fresh lemons if you have it, or this really great powdered lemon that you can keep in your pantry. This lemon is great for dressings, dips, and even cocktails.
