Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pitted green olives
- 1 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure the green olives and kalamata olives are pitted.
In a food processor, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, and capers. Pulse a few times until chopped but not completely smooth; aim for a slightly chunky consistency.
Transfer the olive mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the finely chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, diced red onion, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt (if using) to the bowl.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with additional lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
Serve immediately or let it sit for 15-30 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
