This recipe is satisfying, inexpensive, and takes only 5 minutes to put together. I like this for late-night snacking or when last-minute company comes by for cocktails. Serve with fresh veggies or pita wedges. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.

  • ⅓ cup pimento-stuffed Manzanilla olives
  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Blend garbanzo beans, olives, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a food processor or blender until smooth.

    LOVE this recipe and it was super easy! I however did not add basil or parsley. I love green olives and this is my new FAV hummus!

    Loved this recipe! Last time used artichoke hearts instead of olives and a little oil from the jar basil and extra garlic. Yum!!

    Like others I used less lemon juice and omitted the basil. Instead I added extra garlic and crushed red pepper. It came out delicious and so quick and easy! YUM!

    This is delicious! I just made it and can't wait to have some tonight. I let all the flavors sit for an hour before tasting. My 4 yr old twins gave it a thumbs up too!

    I made this as written and it tastes great. It's a good no-tahini hummus.

    This is my favorite hummus. So much better than the one in the supermarket. I omitted the basil and next time will reduce the lemon juice but it is a definite keeper.
