Description
This easy, hearty muffaletta olive salad recipe is a vibrant and satisfying dish, balancing nutrition and taste to make it a budget-friendly staple for quick meals and family dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (400g) mixed pitted green olives and Kalamata olives
- 0.5 cup (120g) pickled giardiniera, drained and roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup (30g) capers, drained
- 0.25 cup (60g) roasted red peppers, jarred, drained, and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup (10g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup (120ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) dried oregano
- Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Finely chop all olives, giardiniera, capers, roasted red peppers. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
- Combine Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the chopped olives, giardiniera, capers, roasted red peppers, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.
- Whisk Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) until slightly emulsified.
- Dress and Mix: Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the olive and vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Marinate for Flavor: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally several hours, to allow flavors to meld and deepen.
Notes
For best flavor and healthier profile, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and low-sodium olives/giardiniera. Fresh garlic and parsley enhance the taste. If the salad appears too dry, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil. If it tastes too salty, rinse the olives briefly before chopping next time. Marination is crucial for developing rich, melded flavors.
