Green Olive Dip
Break out the chips, crackers and veggies and get ready to make your new favorite dip. This olive dip is extra flavorful, perfect slathered on some warm crusty bread, or a roast beef sandwich.
I love olives and pickles and always have a few jars in my fridge. It makes curing those between meal snacking possible and satisfies tangy savory cravings. This dip is perfect anytime. I could make a whole sandwich out of it, by the way, I think adding it to some chicken salad is in order!
I am a huge dip fan, snacking is a requirement in my kitchen! Choose chips, crackers, veggies, pretzels, or toast some slices of crusty bread and let’s enjoy some snacks!
I just love dips, they are simple to mix up and can be made ahead of time, which is so wonderful, place the dip in the fridge, give them a mix, place it in a nice serving bowl, and get out your favorite dippers.
I’m dying to try these herbed lasagna chips, they would be wonderful with this dirty martini style dip! This Marinated Cheese recipe is a great addition to a relish tray.

How can I adjust the flavor of this Martini Dip?
Add in some crumbled cotija or blue cheese, and add a splash of gin or vodka, and the dip will give a nice martini tast,e which will give it a super flavorful dirty martini dip flavor.
Small dishes make a great single serve size.
