Variations & Tips

For those who might not be fond of green olives, you can substitute with black or Kalamata olives for a different flavor profile. If you have a picky eater sensitive to garlic, try reducing the garlic powder or omitting it entirely. For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mix. You can also lighten this dip up by using low-fat cream cheese, and it’s still just as delicious!
