What is Olive Salsa with Mixed Spanish Olives?
I'm glad you asked! What might sound a little strange, is actually an amazingly delicious snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Our three favorite Spanish olives (Gordal, Hojiblanca, and Manzanilla Olives from Spain) are mixed together with some crunchy red pepper and white onion, little sweet cherry tomatoes, and some oregano.
It's a simple yet magical combination.
Why choose Olives from Spain
Olives from Spain are my all-time favorite. I cook with them often, and snack on them even more. They are versatile, easy to cook with, and loved by people of all ages.
Even my little 3-year-old loves them. Her favorite is the buttery tasting, black Hojiblanca Olives from Spain. She snuck so many from the bowl as I was creating this recipe that I worried I might run out of them!
Thank goodness they are so healthy. They are low in calories and high in antioxidants, including Vitamin E. Considering one out of every 2 olives eaten in Canada is from Spain, we must be a really healthy bunch!
For this recipe, I've mixed together my daughter's favorite with big, plump Gordal and pimiento-stuffed Manzanilla Olives from Spain. The combination of those three is amazing!
How to make this olive salsa recipe
This recipe is amazingly easy to make. Try to keep the Olives from Spain, the red pepper, and cherry tomatoes about the same size. The white onion can be minced small as larger chunks can be overwhelming.
