Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mixed olives, pitted
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients ensuring olives are pitted and cream cheese is softened for easier blending.
  2. Blend the Dip: In a food processor or blender, combine the mixed olives, cream cheese, and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
  3. Chill the Dip: Transfer the blended mixture to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  4. Serve: Serve chilled with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use green, black, or a combination of mixed olives depending on flavor preference.
  • For a tangier taste, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of capers before blending.
  • This dip keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust olive oil quantity to achieve desired consistency.
  • Use pitted olives only to avoid damaging the blender or food processor blades.
