Ingredients

- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients ensuring olives are pitted and cream cheese is softened for easier blending.

- 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.
