HOMEMADE HUMMUS WITH OLIVE SALSA
For homemade hummus that is creamy, flavorful and quick to make, start with a can of GOYA® Low Sodium Chick Peas! Our premium, nutty-tasting chickpeas cook up perfectly tender in the can and are lower in sodium than the original. Simply blend the chickpeas with olive oil, lemon juice and a handful of other pantry ingredients, then spread on a party platter and top with a quick olive salsa for a crowd-pleasing dip with the silkiest texture and true Mediterranean pizzazz.

Steps:
- To the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender, add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse, adding the liquid from the beans as needed to keep things moving, until the hummus is very smooth.
- Add the olives and pulse until chopped. I like to whirr them almost completely in; you may prefer a chunkier hummus. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
- Scoop into a serving bowl and top with additional sliced olives, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
- Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

BLACK OLIVE HUMMUS
This is a sesame-free hummus that I make for a friend with allergies. It is a huge hit. You can either use pitted kalamata olives, or for a more intense flavor, you can buy black olive paste at most mediterranean groceries. Marmarabirlik salted black olive paste is my favorite.
