Make this simple, cold olive dip in under ten minutes. It uses black and green olives for a tangy flavor, perfect as a last-minute appetizer for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/2 cup pitted black olives, drained
  • 1/2 cup pitted green olives, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt (or sour cream) into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the drained black olives, green olives, minced garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper to the food processor.
  3. Pulse the mixture several times until the olives are finely chopped but the dip still holds texture. Do not over-process into a smooth paste; you want small olive pieces remaining.
  4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Transfer the creamy olive dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
  6. Serve immediately with crackers, vegetable sticks, or crusty bread. This is a great cold veggie dip option.

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, use only Greek yogurt or substitute sour cream for the yogurt.
  • If you do not have a food processor, finely chop the olives by hand and mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.
  • This dip tastes best when served chilled, but it is ready to eat right away for last minute appetizer ideas.
