Italian Olive Salad

Italian olive salad is a wonderful thing. Although I use it pretty much exclusively on sandwiches, you can also mix it with pasta for a great salad. There’s a great mix of textures and tastes, from crunchy carrots to rich Kalamata olives, to the kick of pickled cauliflower and pepperoncinis. Although it’s a little work, and takes a few ingredients, this salad is the best there is. Make sure to let it set overnight before using it.

Italian Olive Salad

If you love olives, you’ll more than love this Italian olive salad. It makes for the world’s best sandwich, a muffuletta.  I can eat muffuletta all day long. I can also eat this salad out of a bowl.

Yeah, you can buy olive salad online or in a store. And it’s good stuff. But, oh, there’s nothing like the homemade salad.
