Notes
- Note 1
- In this pasta salad with green olives I used pepper stuffed green olives. That's just what I had, but in reality any kind of olive will work in this salad: Kalamata, regular unstuffed green olives, Castelverano. Just make sure you're using pitted olives.
- Note 2
- Orange or yellow pepper will work here too.
