I went thru a phase where I loved, loved, loved Martini's, dirty please, extra dirty with lots of olives! I think I actually just liked the Martini's for the olives, I love olives, any kind, color or shape. Filled with garlic, habenero, pimento and even small onions.
I was reading Shelby's blog Grumpy's Honeybunch and saw she made a spread with olives. I could not WAIT to get some cream cheese and try it for myself.
I used regular green olives stuffed with pimento, added a bit of pepper and a dash of salt. It was the perfect spread for this olive lover. I literally nearly swooned, ok I did swoon a bit. My husband is not such a lover of olives, so I decided to add some Sun Dried Tomatoes in oil. That toned the olive taste down just enough! Heaven on a cracker!
1 package cream cheese
3/4 of jar of Green Olives with Pimento (or any olive you like), drained and diced
dash of salt
dash of pepper
2 tbl of finely chopped Sun Dried Tomato
Crackers of your choice
Let the cream cheese come to room temperature, mix in the remaining ingredients and serve with crackers or on a Bagel would be awesome!

I love olives!!!! I think I need to make this for T-day!!
Now that's my kind of cooking! :)
wow, this is beautiful, i love olives too!
I eat olives straight out of the jar and am addicted to chips and dip. This is a dangerous, dangerous recipe.
And, of course, this would be a perfect addition to the Thanksgiving appetizer table, wouldn't it? While I'm not a fan of olives, I have plenty of people who are!
I dont love olives but adding this to superbowl menu too
I love olives too - especially stuffed with blue cheese. This dip would be a perfect appetizer for Thanksgiving.
Your spread sounds very tempting Cheryl.
This sounds so easy and so good. Love olive and love cream cheese.
