  3. Blend for an additional 5 seconds until the dip appears creamy and well-combined.
  4. After blending, taste the Black Olive Dip to ensure the flavors are balanced. Adjust as needed.
  5. Transfer your Black Olive Dip into a charming serving bowl. Arrange pita chips or crackers around it.
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
