Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black olives, pitted
- 1 cup Green olives, pitted (or stuffed with pimentos)
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain the black and green olives thoroughly to ensure the dip doesn’t become too watery.
In a food processor, combine the black olives, green olives, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother dip, blend it longer; for a chunkier texture, use shorter pulses.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Depending on the olives, additional salt may not be needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, sliced vegetables, or pita chips. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
