This dip is delicious, but it's really high in calories. I'll have to save it for special occasions.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dip turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong kind of olives.

This dip is really good, but it's a bit too expensive to make on a regular basis.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dip turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This dip is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.
