Ingredients

• 1 cup kalamata olives
• 0.5 cup green olives
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Pit the kalamata and green olives (if not already pitted). Rinse off any brine and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the kalamata olives, green olives, garlic cloves, and parsley. Pulse several times to roughly chop the ingredients.

Step 3

Add the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend the mixture until smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.

Step 4

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add a bit more lemon juice for acidity or more black pepper for spice.

Step 5

Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 6

Serve immediately with pita chips, crackers, or sliced veggies, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
