＋ Can I make this dip without mayonnaise?

Yes! You can substitute the mayonnaise with additional sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.

＋ What's the best way to serve this olive cheese dip?

This dip pairs wonderfully with sturdy crackers, tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetables like bell peppers, celery, and carrots. It also makes a great spread for sandwiches.

＋ How far in advance can I make this dip?

You can make this dip up to 2 days ahead of time. In fact, it often tastes better after sitting overnight as the flavors have time to meld together.

＋ Why is my dip too salty?

Olives can be quite salty, so always taste before adding any additional salt. If it s too salty, add a bit more cream cheese or sour cream to balance the flavors.
