Ingredients
- 1 ounce package package cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup sour cream (or mayonnaise)
- 1 ounce jar green olives with pimentos
- 1 cup smoked cheddar cheese (shredded)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Strain the olives, reserving the liquid for another use (or to thin the dip to the desired consistency).
- Place the olives, cream cheese, sour cream (or mayonnaise), shredded cheese, onion powder, and garlic powder into a food processor.
- Process initially for 15-20 seconds, or until the desired smoothness is achieved, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste test the dip; I like to do this before adding in Worcestershire sauce. The dip can be perfectly smooth or a little chunkier, depending on your preference.
- Add in Worcestershire sauce and process for 3-5 seconds. Adjust the consistency with the preserved olive juice, if necessary.
- Transfer the olive dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
- Serve with crackers, potato chips, pita chips, or fresh veggies. Garnish with whole or sliced olives, green onions, or parsley.
