- Process initially for 15-20 seconds, or until the desired smoothness is achieved, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste test the dip; I like to do this before adding in Worcestershire sauce. The dip can be perfectly smooth or a little chunkier, depending on your preference.
- Add in Worcestershire sauce and process for 3-5 seconds. Adjust the consistency with the preserved olive juice, if necessary.1-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- Transfer the olive dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
- Serve with crackers, potato chips, pita chips, or fresh veggies. Garnish with whole or sliced olives, green onions, or parsley.
