Looking for an easy appetizer, just because… or for Easter? I got it covered.

Pearls® Specialties Kalamata Olives are my favorite for salads, wraps and even on their own. For the olive lovers, I created a hummus you will have to try. Snag some of our favorite Pearls® olives on Amazon or use their store locator to find a location near you selling them. Why Pearls®? Because this family owned brand has been around for over 75 years, which is why I was intrigued to try them in the first place.

For presentation purposes I put the hummus in a plastic sandwich bag and cut the corner. Then squeezed it out like icing. Depending on the celebration add festive pieces such as these small eggs to the plate.
