Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the dip. You can also experiment with different types of olives, such as Kalamata or black olives, for a unique flavor profile. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or tahini to the mixture. For a nutty twist, try adding a handful of toasted pine nuts or almonds before blending.
