Green Olive Salad
This Green Olive Salad Recipe has fresh ingredients and Mediterranean flavors. Sumac, pomegranate molasses and lemon juice make it a mouthwateringly tangy salad that is perfect to serve on a party table. It is quite satisfying and makes a wonderful light lunch or as appetizer too, but in Syria it would be served with cheese for breakfast
You can enjoy this salad with some warm bread or crackers. It is a great addition to sandwiches or snack boards and it is good for leveling up pasta, tuna salads or mixed greens.
You can prepare a big batch and store it in the fridge and it will last for weeks thanks to the olive oil.
