Super Easy Marinated Olives!

John came home and started snacking on them as soon as he found them in the fridge. Thankfully I had already taken a couple of pictures so I could share them on the blog.

He has been sneaking them out of the fridge every chance he gets. He added them to a sandwich and said they were a great addition.

These Marinated Olives would make a great holiday gift! They would look great in a sealed jar with a couple of wooden spoons or serving forks attached to the jar.

I may have to make some of these up for our foodie friends that I know would love them. These marinated olives work great for parties! You can make these up ahead of time and serve them in a nice bowl with either toothpicks or appetizer forks.

We love to use these in salads or as a daily snack. They have such a great flavor! You can make them as spicy as you like. If you are not a fan of spice you can easily leave off the red pepper flakes.

Ingredients Needed

  • Black olives
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh basil
  • Garlic
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Salt

Equipment Needed

Covered dish/bowl - for the olives to marinate in

Serving bowl - Did you know there are olive serving trays? These long glass trays are perfect for serving marinated olives and other flavors of olives on a charcuterie board or serving platter.

Bamboo Picks - If you are serving these at a party we suggest serving them with a jar of bamboo cocktail picks so guests can easily pick them up and move them to their plate. A small pair of tongs would also work.

These can be refrigerated for up to a month if they last that long. 🙂
