Super Easy Marinated Olives {Video}

These super easy Marinated Olives are so dang easy to make! I had them ready to go and in the fridge marinating within a few minutes.

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.
