Recipe: Delicious Three Olive Hummus

Recipe: Delicious Three Olive Hummus Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Three Olive Hummus. Three Olive Hummus This is a delicious hummus cocktail made with oregano and three types of olives. This started out as the slightly more exciting "Three Olive Hummus," but when I realized I was out of plain black olives, I went with two olives instead. And it was just as tasty, so I went with it. "Two Olive Hummus," though, doesn't have quite the same ring to it, so just plain "Olive Hummus" it is!
