When my local wholesale club stopped carrying my favorite kalamata hummus, I came here looking for a reasonable substitute. This was fantastic! My guests devoured it in no time. Next time I'll have to double the recipe.

This is my 1st attempt at hummus and it's a winner. Dh has never been a big fan but loved this recipe and commented that it's the best he's ever had. I made the recipe "as is" except on the olives, I had searched out pitted kalamata olives with no luck and resorted to a greek mix of pitted olives. I picked out all the kalamata which wasn't quite 3/4 of a cup and filled the cup with a variety of the other olives to get the correct amount - it worked and the taste was superb. I did find that a drained can of garbanzo beans is a scant 1 1/2 cups worth so I went with it. I did not add any water to thin out - it was the perfect consistency for us. I served it with baby carrots, sliced cucumbers and thin sesame rice crackers. I'm looking forward to serving this for company!
