Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Drain the green olives and crumble the feta cheese into a bowl. Mince 1-2 cloves of fresh garlic finely for a robust flavor.
  2. In a food processor, combine the prepared green olives, crumbled feta, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Pulse until smooth but slightly chunky.
  3. If too thick, add more olive oil or a splash of water to thin and blend again for 15 seconds. Adjust seasoning with black pepper or red pepper flakes.
  4. Transfer the dip to a bowl, drizzle with extra olive oil, and garnish with olives and herbs. Serve with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or crackers.
