Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened; substitute with dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan option.
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise Can be replaced with Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor.
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Adjust quantity to taste.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Start with a pinch to avoid overpowering.
For the Star of the Show
  • 1 cup Green Olives (with pimento) Drained; opt for firm olives.

  • Food Processor

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, add the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise, blending until smooth and creamy (1-2 minutes). Scrape down the sides occasionally.
  2. Sprinkle in the onion powder and garlic powder, blending until fully integrated (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add the drained green olives and pulse gently until roughly chopped (10-15 seconds). Maintain some texture.
  4. Gradually stir in about 1 tablespoon of olive brine to achieve your desired consistency, blending for another 15 seconds if needed.
  5. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
