Thousands of people are already making and loving my Creamy Garlic Olive Dressing Magic Elixir, and once you make it, you will see why it’s on repeat in so many kitchens. When I created this next-level Magic Elixir, I wanted to come up with a dressing that was exceptionally flavorful and super creamy, and both the dairy and the non-dairy versions of this Creamy Garlic Olive Dressing have been a huge success!

Dairy or Non-Dairy? You Decide!

The olives happen to be quite mild, so they’re absolutely perfect for this recipe. We made two versions, one with dairy and one Whole30 version, so that everyone can enjoy this lusciousness. Both versions are equally delicious and full of flavor. It’s so many people’s favorite Magic Elixir! You’ll want to make it again and again.

Supporting Local, Loving Olives

It’s great on a salad, steak, or chicken, or even as a dipping sauce! Plus, you know how much I love supporting local farmers. I am thrilled to use California Grown Olives for this recipe because I love them so much.

Black or Green, Equally Divine

You can make this garlicky dressing with either black or green olives, because they’re practically the same. Black olives are just left longer on the tree to mature. There isn’t a huge difference in flavor, so I just use whichever I have on hand.

Transform Your Meals with This Must-Have Elixir!

Olive brine is a Magic Elixir in and of itself. It’s a mix of salt, vinegar, and water, and as the olives marinate, the liquid takes on a richer flavor. This popular Magic Elixir has been on the blog in many forms, but since it’s become a viral recipe for us, we wanted to give it its own home here.
