Excellent. Reminds me a lot of the garden vegetable cream cheese spread that comes in little tubs - but this is SO much better. I added a little bit of minced onion and just a little cayenne, but it's perfectly fine the way the recipe is written. I will definitely make this again!

I make this all the time; Thanks for the great recipe! I don't put in the mayo and I add a splash of hot sauce. This is really great served with multi-grain pita chips. I don't measure anything so I do: One large celery stalk, 3 green onions, about 3/4 of a bell pepper and a large hand full of olives. This is really great for breakfast on a bagel, too :) Yum!

Took this to a party at work and it was gobbled up. I had two people ask for the recipe. This is a keeper for sure!

We thought this was pretty good, however it seemed excessively salty. I love olives, any maybe mine were just extra briny, but I felt this would be much better with perhaps 1/2 cup of olives, as opposed to 3/4 cup. Thanks for sharing this recipe, Kelly!

We omitted the green peppers, and it was still very full of flavor. It was even better the next day!!

This was great! I'm even not a huge fan of green olives, but I quite enjoyed it! I used my food processor as another reviewer suggested...chopped the veggies then through in the cream cheese and cheese and let it do all the work. It was awesome. My boyfriend loved it! It went great as an appetizer after having bloody mary's with our breakfast : )

Would have been a five star but it seemed like there were just TOO many vegetables in this. It seemed better after sitting in the fridge for a while though. I think I would have had a better first impression had I used stronger green olives. The ones I had were so mild they almost tasted like black ones, so it could just be my ingredient choice that is the problem. My guests LOVED it though, so I will keep this recipe around and continue to tweak it a bit. I added a bit of salt and freshly dried oregano. I also veganized this by using cheddar Daiya, Follow Your Heart cream cheese, and Vegenaise. The creamy base of the dip was wonderfully delicious.

I was looking for something new to make for a get together I was having, but wasn't sure with this having pimento-stuffed olives, as I don't like them. I tried it any way...BOY was I glad! This was very good and all of my guests raved about it!
