Green Olive Dip
Green olive dip is super easy to make, coming together in a matter ofminutes. With a creamy, brine-y flavor, it’s great with everything from crackers to fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise I used Miracle Whip
- about 12 ounces green olives with pimentos
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- salt to taste.
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise to a food processor or blender and process until the mixture is smooth.
- Drain the green olives, but reserve the juice, and give them a rough chop.
- Add the olives, along with the onion and garlic powder, to the processor and pulse several times to combine the ingredients.
- Start by adding one tablespoon of the olive brine and pulse to combine. Continue to add more brine, about a tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between, until the dip reaches your desired consistency.
- If needed, mix in some salt.
- Serve with crackers, pita bread or fresh vegetables. Store the dip in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
