Did you see the latest post about healthy snacks for little athletes? If not, swing by here and give it a read through. One part that really caught my attention is using olives to re-hydrate instead of sports drinks. Which got me thinking, because among other things, I love olives! So, when I found this recipe for Sausage and Black Olive Pizza Dip, found on frugalanticsrecipes.com, I couldn’t pass on sharing another way to savor one of my favorite fruits (yes, they are fruits.)
And now, for the good stuff:
Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup prepared pizza sauce (I used Classico)
- 12 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 12 oz Italian sausage (hot or mild), crumbled, cooked and drained
- 4 oz sliced black olives, drained
- 1-2 green onions, sliced
- 2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Spread it in the bottom of a 7X11 pan.
- Top with pizza sauce and then sliced mozzarella.
- Sprinkle with cooked sausage, black olives and green onions.
- Top with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Serve hot with chips.
