Ingredients: 3/4 cup pitted mixed oil-packed olives; 1 tablespoon capers; 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers; 2 tablespoons parsley leaves; 1/2 cup giardiniera (Italian-style pickled vegetable salad); 1 medium garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon); 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar; 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

This is our take on the classic olive salad used for topping muffuletta sandwiches. The combination of olives, capers, and roasted peppers is at once sweet, salty, and tart. If a muffuletta isn't on your horizon, this quick salad also makes a fantastic burger or pizza topping.
