Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Green olives (pitted)
- 1 cup Black olives (pitted)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 small Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Fresh garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the green and black olives under cold water and drain well. If the olives are large, slice them in half for better texture and presentation.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, then add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-moons, and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, then dice it into small cubes and add it to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the vegetable mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the olive and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to ensure everything is well coated.
Let the salad rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
