Make this incredibly simple, cold olive dip in just five minutes. It uses few ingredients and requires no baking, making it the best appetizer for last-minute entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pitted green olives, drained
  • 1 cup pitted black olives, drained
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the drained green olives, black olives, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and oregano into the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Pulse the mixture several times until it forms a coarse, slightly chunky spread. Do not over-process; you want some texture remaining.
  3. Taste the dip and add black pepper as needed. If you prefer a smoother dip, process for a few more seconds.
  4. Transfer the creamy olive dip to a serving bowl.
  5. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve this quick olive spread with crackers, vegetable sticks, or crusty bread for your next party appetizer.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality olives. This dip is excellent for make ahead dips; prepare it up to one day in advance.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can finely chop the olives and mash them thoroughly with the cream cheese using a fork until combined.
  • This recipe is naturally vegetarian and fits well into Mediterranean dip ideas.
