Instructions
 

  • Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in the bowl of a food processor and mix until thoroughly combined.
    2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened, ½ cup mayonnaise
  • Add the onion powder and garlic powder to taste (adjust as necessary)
    1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Add the green olives and mix thoroughly..
    6 ounces green olives with pimento
  • Start with one tablespoon and add additional olive brine as needed to get dip to the desired consistency.
    3 tablespoons olive brine

Notes

  • Softened cream cheese makes a much creamier dip than cold cream cheese. Let it sit out for 30 min-1 hour before making the dip if possible.
  • Start with ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and add more as desired. I usually do a teaspoon of garlic powder, the flavor will mellow as it sits in the refrigerator.
  • The hardest part about this dip is letting it chill for 2 hours before eating it. The time that it chills gives the flavors time to meld together!
