Green Olive Dip.....

I love green olives. I have loved them since I was a kid. Each year in my stocking I would recieve a jar of green olives, which would usually be eaten by the end of the day. (My husband has also been so sweet to continue this tradition for me!) In thinking of a dip to take along on our annual Labor Day Camping Trip I decided to try to make a Green Olive Dip. I've seen packets where you can make a Green Olive Cheese ball, but I thought this would be delicious on the freshly harvested cucumbers from the garden... I was not wrong! Green Olive Dip 8oz shoftened cream cheese 3 oz green olives with the juice 1 avacodo 2 tsp granulated garlic 1/2 tsp onion powder 1 tps salt 1 tsp pepper Throw everything in the blender and blend! If you like to have some chunks in the dip, chop 2 oz green olives and add at the end. Serve with cucumbers, crackers, on a salami sandwich... YUM!
