Start by draining your green olives well. If they’re whole, remove the pits and chop them roughly. You want small chunks—not a paste—so the dip has texture.

Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes. This makes mixing much easier and results in a smoother dip.

Step 3: Combine the Creamy Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add:

  • Sour cream
  • Mayonnaise

Mix thoroughly using a spatula or hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Stir in:

  • Garlic
  • Lemon juice
  • Olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • Chili flakes

Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Fold in Olives and Vegetables

Add:

  • Chopped green olives
  • Red bell pepper
  • Parsley
  • Capers (optional)

Gently fold everything together to maintain texture.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

Taste your dip and adjust:

  • Add more lemon juice for brightness
  • Add more olives for saltiness
  • Add herbs for freshness

Step 7: Chill Before Serving

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to blend beautifully.
