Excellent for leftover olive tray
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Eye balled everything, minus anchovies. Used Thai basil instead. My olive tray had a few marinated artichoke hearts in it,... so I threw those in with the olives and everything else. SO GOOD! Spread thick on a toasted roll with thinly sliced smoked chicken. Read more

super easy recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used the recipe, but I left out the anchovies and the basil because I don't like anchovies and I made it in advanced.... Travels very well. Make sure that you chop the olives fine enough and stir before serving.Read more
