Tangy Tomato and Olive Hummus Recipe

Prep Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes
Servings: 4 people
Author: Tracy Halasz

Ingredients

  • ¾ - 1 cup hummus*
  • ½ cup green olives with pimentos, whole
  • cup sun-dried tomato, rough chop
  • ½-1 tsp hot pepper flakes, to taste
  • 4-10 leaves fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  • Use your favourite store-bought brand of hummus or make this Quick Delicious Hummus recipe.
  • Pat excess oil from the sun-dried tomato between a couple sheets of paper towel before chopping.
  • Add hummus, olives, and tomatoes in the bowl of the food processor - pulse until well combined (no big chunks). Stir in red pepper flakes by hand.
    Recommend adding a clove or two of garlic if your store-bought hummus does not have garlic.
    For a more intense olive-tomato flavour, use only ¾ cup hummus in recipe.
    Rough chop basil (4-10 leaves depending on the size of the leaves) and sprinkle over top.

Notes

Use your favourite store-bought hummus or make this Quick Delicious Hummus recipe.
If your hummus does not have any garlic in it, I recommend adding a clove or two of garlic but this is optional.
If you like a more intensely flavoured hummus, use only ¾ cup hummus in recipe.
Test for flavours - tangier, add more olives; richer, add more tomatoes; spicier, add more pepper flakes; fresher, add more lemon, basil.
