I love eating these marinated olives for breakfast with a generous portion of feta cheese and a hunk of artisan bread. It’s salty and so satisfying.

Use olives with a pit to yield a more flavorful bite. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

How to Make Marinated Olives

First, wash and dry the olives. Next, add them to a large mixing bowl. Then, add the shallot (or onion), garlic, lemon zest, spices, and herbs. Give a generous toss to combine.

Once mixed, add the olive oil. Give another toss to mix, then transfer the olives to a mason jar with a lid. Enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure to pull the olives out of the fridge about 20 minutes before serving.
