Time 30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (save the juice)
1/3 cup chopped black olives
8 green onions, chopped
3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, softened and chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic and salt; stir and blend in artichokes and olives.
  • Add green onions, tomatoes, parsley and chives; gently mix together.
  • Refrigerate for several hours or overnight (if possible) to blend flavors.
  • If mixture is too thick, stir in some of the artichoke juice.
  • Bring to room temperature and serve with water crackers or other crispy bread.
  • Or, you can add more of the artichoke juice to make it more of a dip consistency, and serve with cut up veggies.
