Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (can substitute with Greek yogurt)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (start with a pinch)

Main Flavor

  • 1 cup Green Olives (with pimento) (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Brine (can substitute with lemon juice)

Instructions

  1. Blend Base: Place softened cream cheese and mayonnaise into your food processor. Blend until the mixture is velvety smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Season: Sprinkle in the onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well until completely integrated into the creamy base.
  3. Add Olives: Add the drained green olives to the processor. Pulse gently until the olives are combined but still slightly chunky to retain texture.
  4. Adjust Texture: Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive brine. Add more as needed until you reach the desired consistency for dipping.
  5. Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier and healthier version.
  • Olive brine can be swapped with lemon juice for a citrusy twist.
  • The dip is best served chilled to enhance the flavors.
  • Adjust garlic powder according to your preference; start with a pinch and increase if desired.
  • Great as a spread on crackers, sandwiches, or as a vegetable dip.
