Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Olives

    Rinse the Kalamata olives under cold water to remove any brine or excess salt. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, fresh oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until combined.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed Kalamata olives with the marinade. Toss gently to coat the olives evenly in the mixture.

  2. 4

    Let Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the olives marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Olives

    After marinating, remove the olives from the refrigerator and transfer them to a serving dish.

  2. 6

    Add Garnishes (Optional)

    If desired, crumble feta cheese over the olives and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
