Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Olive Lovers’ Dream Dip. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending. Then, in a food processor, add 200 g of pitted green olives, 150 g of crumbled feta cheese, and 100 g of cream cheese. Include 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, the zest of 1 lemon, and the juice of ½ lemon.
- Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it reaches a smooth yet slightly textured consistency—about 30 seconds should do the trick.
- Next, carefully add in 1 chopped roasted red pepper along with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and ½ teaspoon of optional chili flakes for a little kick. Pulse the food processor 2–3 times to incorporate these ingredients while keeping some of the mixture slightly chunky.
- Once mixed, transfer the Olive Lovers’ Dream Dip to a serving dish. Drizzle a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the top and garnish with a few whole green olives.
- Cover the dip with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- After chilling, it’s time to serve your Olive Lovers’ Dream Dip! Pair it with warm pita chips, crispy crostini, or an array of fresh vegetables for dipping.
