Olive Salad (Made In a Mason Jar)

OLIVE SALAD

I remember a time I didn’t eat olives, outside of the typical black olive. Not too long ago, when offered a green olive, I made my way, outside, to spit it out. My how times have changed. I guess it’s really true, your tastes change, as you age.

This olive salad, is similar to what you would find, on an olive bar, at your local World Market, or Sprouts grocery stores. It utilizes easily accessible ingredients: black, Manzanilla, and Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and capers.

We are not going to measure ingredients. Just layer the olives, feta, and capers.

Add 1 or 2 tablespoons, depending on the size of your jar, Good Season's Italian Dressing Mix.

Cover with olive oil.

 Use as a topping, on a sandwich. Or add to pasta, for a quick Olive Pasta Salad.
