Notes
- Note 1 I buy a tall thin jar of olives that you can purchase at Aldi, Coles or Woolworths. Sliced Olives are good for this recipe as you know without doubt there will be no pits!
- Note 2 Cream cheese is very thick and solid. When it comes out of the fridge it is quite firm. It will be MUCH easier to work with (for any recipe) if you let it sit on the bench for a bit as it will naturally soften as it reaches room temperature.
- Note 3 The olives will be in their own brine (liquid), we drain the olives and reserve some of this brine to add to our dip as it is PACKED with flavour!
- Note 4 You will find this in the herbs and spices section of the supermarket. It is a very fine white powder (ie not garlic salt)
- Note 5As above you will find this in the herbs and spices section of the supermarket. In a small packed or jar. If you cannot find it, look for onion powder, but don't use regular diced onion as it will be too much (ie omit instead).
