Ingredients

• 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
• 1 cup Green olives, pitted
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 4 pieces Sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
• 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
• 1.5 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the Kalamata olives, green olives, and sun-dried tomatoes into a food processor.

Step 2

Add the fresh parsley, minced garlic, capers, and lemon juice to the food processor.

Step 3

Pulse the ingredients a few times to break them down and combine the flavors.

Step 4

Drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to pulse until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, pulse less; for a smoother spread, pulse more.

Step 5

Season with the ground black pepper and pulse one final time to incorporate.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, but avoid adding salt as the olives and capers are naturally salty.

Step 7

Transfer the olive spread to a serving dish and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
