Notes

  • You can serve the salad right away, but it’s even better when it’s been chilled and the flavors have had a chance to mix together and develop. So, I usually make it a few hours in advance.
  • You can use whatever olives you like. It’s a good idea to use unpitted olives and if you opt for black olives you can’t go wrong with kalamata olives.
  • White wine vinegar works very well because it’s light and tangy. You can change the flavor of the salad and use balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar. Feel free to experiment!
  • Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 4-5 days.
