Greek salad with olives

Description

Perfect for everyday dining. Olives are an essential component of this salad. Along with Greek feta cheese, they give it a unique flavor and appearance unlike any other. So don't skimp on this ingredient—olives should be of good quality and always with pits! The pit is where the olive's aroma is "preserved." Removing the pit is easy—simply press the olive with the flat side of a knife, or, as the famous Jamie Oliver does, use the bottom of a bowl. Crushed olives are the hallmark of a Greek salad, its signature touch. So, here's how to make it. Garnish, if desired, and serve.
