Olive Salad
By: Gigi Howe
I might be an olive freak. I love them. 🙂 I think I will leave it at that but I could go on! 😉
Anyway, being the olive lover that I am I had to try this recipe. First of all, it is sooo easy to make, everything goes in the food processor. Secondly, its delicious and third.. Olives! If you love olives like I do, you will like this recipe.
What’s great about this recipe is that you can really add whatever else you would like to the mix. This recipe is simple, but I can see adding a little onion, capers, feta cheese and more. I made mine a little on the chunky side when I chopped it. You could chop this real fine, almost into a puree and then using it as a sandwich spread. I put my olive salad into a tossed salad and also had it on some nice Italian bread. I think I need to make some more!
Ingredients:
