Ms. Jill’s Olive Chip Dip
Jill moved in two houses away from my parents when I was in fifth grade. She has a daughter who I used to babysit and tutor and our families spent a lot of time together doing fun things. Jill is creative, a go-getter, and an awesome chef! If I remember right, she used to have her own catering business.
I don’t have a super special story to go with this recipe. I had finished babysitting for the day and my younger sister came over to play. Jill pulled out a bowl of chip dip and said, “Try this. Can you guess the flavor?” 
What was it?! It was so familiar, but I couldn’t put my finger on it! “It’s olives!” she said. During this stage in my life, I was “baking” about every other day, so I ran home to make this recipe myself. I can’t remember how it ended up on the holiday menu, but it did, and now it’s a Thanksgiving tradition. My grandpa mistakes it for a salad every year and eats it as-is!
If you’re interested in printing this off, I’ve created a PDF version for you.
Olive chip dip - yum!

I really like this recipe. I’m going to a potluck after Thanksgiving and needed a recipe for dip that didn’t have onions or garlic. This is the dip I’m going to make.
THANKS!!! for the recipe.
