Preparation
- Begin by opening and draining all canned ingredients, including sliced green olives, sliced black olives, quartered artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, and sliced mushrooms. Rinse them under cold water in a colander to reduce sodium if desired, then set them aside to drain.
- Next, finely chop the red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley. Set them aside in a mixing bowl.
- Mince the garlic and zest the lime, then extract the juice and flesh.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients: drained canned items, chopped vegetables, minced garlic, lime juice, and lime flesh. Gently toss everything together using a spatula.
- Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad and sprinkle in dried oregano, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss gently once more.
- For optimal flavor, let the Loaded Olive Salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Rinse canned ingredients for lower sodium. Adjust flavors based on personal preference. Serve chilled for best taste.
