Create this simple, flavorful olive dip in just five minutes. It is a perfect, no-bake appetizer for parties or a quick snack.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Place the softened cream cheese, drained black olives, drained green olives, sour cream (or yogurt), minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and black pepper into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture until it is mostly smooth but still has some texture. Do not over-process if you prefer a slightly chunky dip.
  3. Taste the dip and add more pepper or lemon juice if desired.
  4. Transfer the creamy olive dip to a serving bowl.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. This step makes it a great make-ahead appetizer.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving with crackers, vegetable sticks, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a stronger tapenade style dip, pulse the olives first before adding the cream cheese.
  • If you only have one type of olive, you can use 2 cups of just green olives or just black olives for a variation.
  • This cold dip is best served within 3 days.
