- 5.75 ounce jar pimento stuffed green olives
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Crackers, sliced baguette, and veggies for serving
Drain and dice the olives. You should have about 1 cup of diced olives.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth. Add the diced olives and stir just until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, and veggies.
Lighten it up: Swap out ⅓ less fat cream cheese for the full fat cream cheese or nonfat Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise for a lighter dip.
Use a variety of olives: You can substitute all or part of the pimento stuffed green olives for another type of olive you love. Black olives, kalamata olives, or a mixture of gourmet olives would all work.
Storage: Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
