Green Olive Onion Cream Cheese Food

GREEN OLIVE DIP

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in the bowl of a food processor and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Add the onion powder and garlic powder to taste (adjust as necessary)
• Add the green olives and mix thoroughly..
• Start with one tablespoon and add additional olive brine as needed to get dip to the desired consistency.

GREEN OLIVE AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• 1. Whip the cream cheese, with electric mixer, until smooth.
• 2. Add the olive juice a tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. You want the cream cheese smooth, easy to spread, but not runny, so you may not use all of the reserved juice.
• 3. Stir in olives. If you can, allow to stand for 15-20 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve with crackers (I like triskets)

CHEESE BALL III

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice concentrate. Mix in Cheddar cheese, onion and green olives. Form the mixture into a ball shape. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 3 hours, or until firm, before serving.

CREAM CHEESE WITH GREEN ONIONS AND CHIVES

Steps:

CREAM CHEESE-OLIVE ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Hand-squeeze out as much excess moisture in the olives as possible before chopping, and make certain to chop finely.
• In a bowl combine cream cheese with garlic, mayonnaise, green and black olives, green onions and black pepper; mix to combine well.
• Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, then sprinkle a small amount cheddar cheese over the top of the cream cheese.
• Roll up each tortilla as tightly as possible.
• Place each tortilla onto a plate.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill for a couple of hours or up to 24 hours (a longer chilling time will only improve on the flavor).
• Slice each tortilla into about 1-inch pieces.
