Hamlin’s White Dip is a creamy, tangy, no-cook party dip made with mayonnaise, blue cheese, chopped green olives, onion, and a touch of garlic. Thin it with buttermilk until scoopable, then chill for at least two hours so the flavors meld. Serve it cold with chips, crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

For the Dip

  • 16 ounces mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green olives
  • 2 ounces blue cheese, chopped or crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 tablespoons buttermilk, added as needed

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion and olives.

    Place the onion and green olives in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Remove them from the processor and set aside.

  2. Prepare the blue cheese.

    Chop or crumble the blue cheese into small pieces.

  3. Mix the dip.

    In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped onion, green olives, blue cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until evenly mixed.

  4. Adjust the consistency.

    Add the buttermilk one tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dip is smooth and scoopable.

  5. Chill.

    Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least two hours to let the flavors meld.

  6. Stir and serve.

    Stir well before serving. If the dip has thickened too much, add a small splash of buttermilk. Serve cold with tortilla chips, crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Add the buttermilk gradually; you may not need all of it. The dip should be smooth but thick enough to scoop.
  • Chill for at least two hours for the best flavor.
  • Stir the dip before serving, and thin it with a little extra buttermilk if needed.
  • Keep covered and refrigerated until serving.
