Ingredients
  

Key Ingredients
  • 1 cup green olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by pitting the green olives if they aren’t pre-pitted. Toss them in a food processor with the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
  2. Pulse the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier dip, blend for fewer seconds.
  3. Gradually pour in the olive oil and lemon juice while blending on low speed.
  4. Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste. Blend a bit more to combine.
  5. Transfer your Green Olive Dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
  6. Serve with your choice of crackers, fresh veggies, or pita chips.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. No need for reheating, as it’s delightful cold or at room temperature.
