8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
Fresh ground pepper to taste

- Stir in the garlic powder, paprika (if using), and a few cracks of fresh ground pepper.
- Gently fold in the chopped or sliced olives until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Use a mix of green and black olives for more depth of flavor.
