Ingredients:

  • 24 large green olives (about 300g)
  • 1 cup (240g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

  • Lemon zest for topping

Instructions:

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a fork or handheld mixer to blend until smooth.
