Olive Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place the black olives, green olives, artichoke hearts with their juice, and onion into a food processor. Pour in the vinegar and olive oil, and season with garlic, celery seed, oregano, basil and black pepper. Cover, and process until finely chopped. Use as a condiment on sandwiches, or a dip for crackers. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• In a large glass or wooden salad serving bowl, toss together the lettuce mix, onion slices, olives, pepperoncini, tomatoes, and croutons. Add dressing and toss to combine.
• Serve with fresh Parmesan cheese and black pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add potatoes and carrot. Return mixture to a boil and add eggs; cook until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and slightly cool mixture. Chop potatoes and carrot; peel and chop eggs.
• Mix potatoes, carrot, eggs, pickles, peas, ham, and parsley together in a large bowl; stir in mayonnaise until salad is evenly coated.

Steps:

• Drain olives, capers and artichokes.
• Coarsely chop.
• Add parsley, celery, garlic and oregano and olive oil.
• Stir to mix.

Steps:

• Combine the radicchio, romaine and onion in a large serving bowl.
• Drizzle with half of the Dressing and toss well. Top with the Fried Olives. Shave the cheese over the top with a vegetable peeler into thick curls. Drizzle the remaining Dressing over the top and serve immediately.
• Combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar, harissa, basil, oregano, salt, garlic powder and sugar in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The dressing can be made earlier in the day, though you may need to thin it out with a teaspoon or two of water before serving.)
• Heat an inch of oil to 350 degrees F in a medium Dutch oven. Set a rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
• Spread the flour in a shallow bowl. Beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl with a pinch of salt and splash of water. In a third shallow bowl, toss together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, basil, oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Dredge the olives, a few at a time, in the flour, then the beaten egg, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Dredge once more in both flour and egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat thoroughly. Set the olives on a plate as you coat them.
• Once all the olives are breaded, add them to the oil a few at a time, stirring gently with a spider or slotted spoon, to keep them separate. Fry until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to rack. Season with salt, as needed.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together both olive varieties, anchovy, and lemon juice. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar. Pour over olive mixture and add oregano, thyme, and parsley; toss to combine. Season with Tabasco, salt, and pepper. Cover and transfer to refrigerator; chill overnight before using.

Steps:

• Place the feta in a large shallow bowl, add the onion, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest, cherry tomatoes, if using, green olives, and black olives. Toss lightly but thoroughly. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and toss again. Add the fresh herbs, toss, and add several turns of black pepper. Arrange the lettuce leaves on 1 large or several individual plates and spoon the feta salad on top. Serve immediately.

Steps:
