Answers:
Do you mean an olive-cheese dip or something more like tapenade? Either way, I've got you covered:
OLIVE CHEESE SPREAD
8 ounces chevre cheese, room temperature (if the taste is too sharp for your liking, you may substitute cream cheese)
1 1/2 cup green olives with pimento, chopped
2 Tbs olive liquid
black pepper, freshly ground
3/4 cup almonds, chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Combine the cheese, the liquid from olives, red pepper flakes, and black pepper; mix well.
Fold in the almonds and olives.
Chill at least one hour before serving.

4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup capers
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
PREPARATION:
1. Rinse the olives well in cool water in a colander (so they will be less salty). Rinse the capers and the parsley leaves too.
2. Place all ingredients in a food processor.
Process to combine, approximately 1 minute total.
The mixture should be coarsely chopped.
3. Transfer to a bowl and serve with pita, crackers or fresh vegetables.
