And More Olive Love
In my last post, the Italian Olive Burgers, I confessed my undying, unwavering love for olives. Olives are, of course, more than just a pizza topping (although they are THE pizza topping as far as I’m concerned). I also love olives in pasta salads, tacos, tossed salads, spaghetti, straight from the jar, in pickle trays, omelets, and on and on. I also love to make a Mediterranean bagel with a toasted bagel lightly slathered with Cream Cheese. On top of the cream cheese, I layer slices of roma (or grape) tomatoes and olives. If my herb garden is in glorious bloom, I add a little basil… just a little though, one mustn’t steal the show from the olives.
Below is another great olive recipe. How delicious does this picture look?!
