sheila's best 1970s olive curry dip!

Recipe by
Stacy Goodall

This is my mom's famous curry olive dip, which really doesn't sound that great, I don't even like olives but I LOVE this dip, even served it at my wedding! Quick and easy to make. My mom just uses bulk yellow mild curry, so I've never had it with a hot curry, but that might be good as well. Mom makes this in her food processor, so directions follow that process, but if you want to just mince and grate the ingredients by hand, that would work. The chop on the olives, parsley and onion is pretty well minced. Enjoy!!!
