Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1.5 cups green olives (pitted, diced)
- 0.5 cups black olives (pitted, diced)
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp dried dill
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and allow it to soften to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Once softened, use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream to the bowl and mix until fully combined with the cream cheese.
Fold in the diced green olives and black olives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all the seasonings are incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to fit your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a few extra olive slices or a sprinkle of dill if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, sliced vegetables, or toasted bread. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days for the flavors to meld. Allow it to come back to room temperature before serving for the best consistency.
