These Mediterranean Black Olive Hummus Deviled Eggs pack a punch of flavor and are full of heart healthy ingredients. Whip up a batch for your next dinner party. You’ll have your guests impressed!
I am a huge fan of the Mediterranean diet. Not only is it rated as one of the top rated diets by US News 2015 for weight loss and chronic disease prevention but it is full of flavorful foods and ingredients. Olives are an essential part of the Mediterranean diet and contain heart healthy mono-unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients including Vitamin E, Vitamin A, iron and fiber. Their unique flavor and texture makes them a great addition to a variety of recipes.
For my California Ripe Olive inspired recipe I decided to pack in a bunch of Mediterranean flavors into one bite size appetizer. My Mediterranean Black Olive Deviled Dggs combine eggs yolks with black olives, hummus, Dijon mustard, sun dried tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. The ingredients complement each other to create a creamy flavor packed filling that is so good I could eat it by the spoonful.
This recipe makes a great appetizer for your next dinner party but would also work as a quick afternoon snack or addition to a salad for lunch.
