Olive Dip

You will need:
2 blocks cream cheese
1 jar green olives (6-7oz) sizes vary
1 can medium black olives (7oz)

1. Set your cream cheese out to soften and then put in medium bowl.

2. Drain black olives and break olives in your fingers (or chop with a knife or slap chop) you want big chunks and little chunks so don't worry about being neat.

3. DO NOT drain green olives. Repeat step 2 with green olives.

4. Add broken up/chopped olives and green olive juice into bowl.

5. Mix. It takes about 3-5 minutes to get it all mixed up and a good consistency. It looks gross at first and I almost always think I did something wrong, but within a few minutes it comes together perfectly.

6. Serve! I like to spread dip on ritz crackers. It would go will will chips, triscuits, or pumpernickle bread as well though.


Also, you could easily add in a jar of Greek olives if you are feeling creative. Just remember you will only need half of the juice from the 3rd jar and you'll need to add another package of cream cheese. Let me know how you like it!


Happy eating :) -Brittany
