- 1 cup pitted green olives
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Place the green olives, softened cream cheese, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and black pepper into a food processor.

- Taste the dip and add more lemon juice or pepper if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately with crackers or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- If you do not have a food processor, you can finely chop the olives and mash them with the softened cream cheese using a fork until combined.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality Spanish green olives.
- You can garnish the dip with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
