Ingredients
1 cup pitted green olives, drained and chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped, optional
Instructions
1. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature so it mixes smoothly.
2. Drain the green olives well, pat them dry, and chop them into small pieces.
3. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Greek yogurt or sour cream, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper until creamy.
4. Fold in the chopped olives, feta cheese, parsley, dill, red pepper flakes, and optional sun-dried tomatoes.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend.
6. Spoon into a serving bowl and garnish with extra olive oil, olives, herbs, feta, and red pepper flakes.
7. Serve chilled with pita chips, crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
Use drained and patted-dry olives so the dip stays thick and creamy.
Taste before adding salt because olives and feta are already salty.
Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor and texture.
