It comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like you spent way more effort on it
The briny olives cut through rich creaminess in the most addictive way possible

I learned the hard way that cold cream cheese creates lumps that never fully disappear, no matter how long you mix
This dip actually tastes better the next day, so don't be afraid to make it ahead

Chop your olives slightly smaller than you think you need them, big chunks can overwhelm each bite
Pat the olives dry with paper towels before adding them if you want a thicker dip
