Green Olive Dip

For awhile now Facebook has become another place to find recipes to make. But unfortunately the recipes do not always come with a link, especially if it is a video. If I am really interested in the recipe I will typically scroll through the comments to see if I can find a link. If I can't find a link then I end up searching the internet or Pinterest.

This happened to be one of those recipes that I had to find. See I love olives, especially green ones and when I saw a dip that incorporated green olives as the star of the dip I knew I needed to find a recipe and make it. However, I encountered a slight problem. I found two green olive dips and could not decide which one to make. So I decided to make the dip that seemed similar to the one I saw on Facebook and originally went looking for. Check back tomorrow to see the other green olive dip I found and made.

This green olive dip is perfect for any green olive lover. It is simple to make and the flavor of the green olives really shines in this dip.
