*Notes/Substitutions:
Kalamata olives are ideal here, but Castelvetrano olives could also work here.
If you don’t have shallot, scallions could be subbed in instead for their subtle onion flavor.
I used a Mediterranean blend Feta from Trader Joe’s for this, but any feta you have on hand is great.
You could use Plain or Greek Yogurt in place of the sour cream, or a low fat sour cream for this recipe.
I used roasted garlic hummus for an extra flavor boost, but you could use any hummus you like for this!
