Torn Olives with Almonds Celery Parmesan


This fun Mediterranean appetizer features briny green olives, crumbled Parmesan, crisp celery, and toasted almonds. It's easy to make, too!

Ingreadient

    • 2 cups (270 grams) large pitted green olives, drained and torn into bite-sized pieces*
    • 1 cup diced celery (from 2 to 3 medium ribs)
    • ½ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped**
    • 2 ounces Parmesan, crumbled with a fork or knife point into ½ cup rubble
    • 1 large garlic clove, very thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste
    • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, more to taste
    • Kosher salt and red pepper flakes, to taste
    • Leaves from celery ribs, roughly chopped, for garnish

Direction

    1. In a medium bowl, toss all of the ingredients except the celery leaves together. Taste, and adjust the seasonings to your preference (I usually add a little more olive oil and vinegar, and about ¼ teaspoon kosher salt).
    2. Garnish with the chopped celery leaves. Refrigerate until needed, for up to 5 days.
