- 1 cup green olives
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad for a fresh burst of flavor.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with the dressing.
