Notes

To enhance depth, consider using fire-roasted diced tomatoes for a more complex flavor. For a brighter profile, a hint of fresh lime juice can significantly elevate the dip. Ensure thorough chilling for at least 2 hours; this allows the flavors to properly meld and the dip to thicken, resulting in a more harmonious and satisfying taste. For presentation, garnish with fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, or a few extra black olive slices. Offer a variety of dippers such as sturdy tortilla chips, crisp vegetable sticks, or even toasted pita bread.
