While researching this dip and while making it, my craving for an actual dirty martini became overpowering. Somtimes there’s no cure for such a craving until you give in…
I know it looks like I had several of these suckers, but I swear I only had one. Happy New Year’s everybody! Thanks for reading and for supporting the Saucy Dipper.
I’m not a big fan of dirty martinis however I think I could be a big fan of this dip…sounds great to me!
I think you’d love it — at least I did! Happy NY Barbara!
Oh yes, I would quite happily hide in a corner with this and eat it all myself. Awesome salty olive goodness indeed! Happy New Year!
Bacon…olives…cream cheese…and one beautiful woman! What a great post to ring in the New Year! Thank you for sharing with me tonight. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Yes I will definitely give in to dirty martini… the dip sounds wonderful.. Happy New Year!
I love olives, I love martinis, so this sounds great!
Given my serious love of salt, these sound wonderful!
I love this dip! I’ve found so many great ones here this year 🙂 Hope 2011 brings you fantastic things 🙂
As an olive lover, I can just imagine how great that dip tastes. I love the inclusion of a bit of the olive juice. YUM!!
I love dirty martinis and this dip sounds amazing.
Happy 2011 🙂
I wonder if this recipe would work with black olives? I guess it wouldn’t be a try dirty martini dip though. It looks delicious either way. Happy New Year!
I don’t see why not, although I’m not sure it would be as good 🙂 I suppose it all depends on how much you like the olive.
I don’t love alcohol all that much–but what you have here is all of the goodness of a dirty martini, without the Grey Goose. I can get on board with that. Looks phenomenal!
Mmm, this looks so salty and good. My cousin’s boyfriend recently told me that he doesn’t eat salt and I was like “Dude, you know when you’re eating something and you’re like ‘Why does this taste so good?’, it’s SALT!” 😛
So true!
This looks right up my alley! Do you the the recipe would work with blue cheese?
Definitely. But easy does it. This dip already packs a lot of flavor.
