Olive Salad with Lemon-Pomegranate Dressing

Frida Fisher

Report

Let olives be the star of the show with this 10-minute recipe, which balances the buttery-briny nature of Castelvetrano olives with a zippy pomegranate dressing, summery fresh peppers, crunchy walnuts, and fresh herbs. Somewhere between a salad and a condiment, it's particularly talented at bringing simple baked fish and/or roasted vegetables to the next level.

Instructions

Make the dressing. In a large serving bowl, combine the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, Urfa biber, paprika, and cumin. Whisk as you drizzle in enough oil to make a nicely emulsified dressing, about 1/4 cup.
Make the salad. In the same bowl with the dressing, add the olives, shallots, tomato, bell pepper, parsley, mint, and walnuts. Mix well with a spoon.
Enjoy! Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

You can, of course, season the dressing with a small pinch of salt. But since olives are so briney on their own, I don’t think you’ll need it.
: Turn this into a “smashed olive salad.” Hit the olives with the side of your knife, just like you’re smashing garlic. Then remove the pits and mix as usual.
