Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped (Kalamata or Castelvetrano)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Salt and black pepper to taste
A sprinkle of feta cheese (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped green olives, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix with a hand mixer or fork until creamy and well blended.
    Add the minced garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
      Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice or herbs as desired.
