Cedar's Reserve Hommus Olive Tapenade
What it is
This is a creamy and savory spread made from chickpeas, tahini, and finely chopped olives. It offers a rich, briny flavor profile that distinguishes it from plain hommus. The texture is smooth, with small pieces of olive adding a pleasant bite. It is ready to eat and can be used as a dip or a spread straight from the container.
How people cook with it
This versatile spread can elevate many simple dishes. It is perfect for quick snacks or as an addition to more elaborate meals.
- As a dip for vegetables
- Spread on sandwiches
- Topping for crackers
- Flavoring for wraps
To enjoy, simply open the container and serve. It is excellent when paired with fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers. For sandwiches and wraps, spread a generous layer on your bread or tortilla before adding other fillings. It also works wonderfully as a base for canapés or as a flavorful accompaniment to grilled meats and fish. You can also stir it into pasta salads for an unexpected depth of flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional hommus, this version incorporates the distinct, salty taste of olives. The tapenade element brings a more complex, Mediterranean-inspired flavor. It is less sweet and more robust than plain chickpea dips, offering a bolder taste experience.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any remaining hommus refrigerated in an airtight container. It is best to consume within a few days to maintain its freshness and optimal texture. Ensure it is properly sealed to prevent drying out.
