Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup green olives
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Pit the kalamata and green olives (if not already pitted). Rinse off any brine and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a food processor, combine the kalamata olives, green olives, garlic cloves, and parsley. Pulse several times to roughly chop the ingredients.
Add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend the mixture until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add a bit more lemon juice for acidity or more black pepper for spice.
Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita chips, crackers, or sliced veggies, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
