Notes

Chilling is crucial for this dip; it allows the flavors to fully meld and the dip to firm up, enhancing its texture. For a brighter flavor profile, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice or a tablespoon of finely chopped fresh cilantro. Ensure the black olives are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery dip. For an extra kick, a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce can be added. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra cheese or some fresh herbs before serving for an appealing presentation.
