Stepwise Method: Olive Feta Dip

• Start by draining the black and green olives. This step is crucial as excess moisture can make your dip watery. Once drained, give them a rough chop to make blending easier.
• In your food processor, combine the chopped black olives, green olives, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, feta cheese, cream cheese, honey, dry thyme, dry oregano, and lemon zest.
• Pour in the 1/4 cup of water. The water helps achieve a creamy consistency, so feel free to adjust the amount based on your preferred thickness.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined.
• If the dip is too thick, add a little more water or olive oil to achieve your desired consistency. Blend again until smooth.
• Transfer the Olive Feta Dip to a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together. It can also be made a day ahead, which makes it perfect for entertaining!
