Ingredients

• 1 cup Green olives, pitted and drained
• 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and drained
• 1 cup Giardiniera (Italian pickled vegetables), drained
• 0.5 cup Roasted red bell peppers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Add the green olives, Kalamata olives, giardiniera, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to a food processor.

Step 2

Pulse the mixture a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process, as the spread should have a slightly chunky texture.

Step 3

Transfer the chopped mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, garlic, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the olive mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, stir the spread once more. Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, fresh bread, or as a topping for sandwiches and antipasto platters.
