The first time I was introduced to kalamata olives was about a year and a half ago at my bestie cousin’s wedding in California.We ate at an Italian restaurant and our first course was a salad straight from heaven. I don’t remember a single other thing we ate that night. And that is including dessert, people. I don’t remember dessert. That never happens. I have a memory like a shark (is that a thing? it is now) and I’m addicted to sugar so you can see why something wild must have happened in order for me to forget what kind of dessert was served. That Greek-inspired salad was unbelievably good. When the entree was served, I did a fantastic job of ignoring it and devoting my entire attention to the salad. I’ve never been a fan of olives because they have a metallic taste I’ve never cared for. But the kalamata olives on that salad were were rocking my world. A little bit briny and extra salty… I could eat those things like candy. The moment I got home I bought a bottle and I’ve kept them stocked in my fridge ever since. They’re my favorite part of this 7 Layer Greek Hummus. This is the ultimate party dip. Healthy and bursting with flavors. I took this to my inlaws for a get together recently and it was devoured before dinner even started. It’s that good. Even hummus-hesitants will be gobbling down this dip! Plus it comes together so quickly and can be made ahead. 7 Layers of amazingness + 5 minutes prep = best. dip. ever. Take this to your next big family event, or just whip it up and keep it in the fridge all week long for snacking – either way it’s sure big a huge hit at your house!
