Have you ever had spicy hummus with kalamata olives? Yum! It’s so delicious & a favorite snack at my home. I like to serve it with pita bread or cucumber slices. This is a fantastic vegetarian & vegan appetizer to serve for a potluck! The flavor is a little bit tangy, a little bit spicy with a hint of salt & it goes so delicious with the kalamata olives & olive oil! If you’re not a spice fan you can certainly leave the cayenne pepper out! The best part about this dish is how delicious it is however it’s also very healthy, too!
