Olive dip is a savory spread often made with a blend of finely chopped or pureed olives, olive oil, garlic, and seasonings. Some variations include cream cheese, yogurt, or mayonnaise for a creamy texture, while others stay dairy-free for a lighter option. It originates from Mediterranean cuisine, where olives have been a staple ingredient for centuries. Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olives and olive oil, this dip offers potential benefits for cardiovascular health. It also contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, making it a flavorful and nourishing choice. However, olive dip can be high in sodium due to the olives and added seasonings, so it should be enjoyed in moderation, especially for those watching their salt intake. Commonly used as a spread on crackers, as a dip for raw veggies, or as an accompaniment to bread, olive dip is a versatile addition to any table.
