Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled and divided
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup finely chopped green olives (pimento removed)
- 1/2 cup olive brine
- 2 ounces gin or vodka (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Extra chopped olives and olive oil for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, half of the blue cheese, sour cream, chopped olives, olive brine, gin or vodka (if using), and garlic powder.
- Use an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Season the dip with salt and pepper to your preference. Remember the brine is salty.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the remaining blue cheese crumbles over the top.
- Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a few extra chopped olives.
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- You can prepare this dip up to 24 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
- Serve this savory crowd pleaser dip with sturdy crackers, pretzel crisps, celery sticks, or cucumber slices.
- For an alcohol-free version, simply omit the gin or vodka. The olive brine provides the signature flavor.
