My DH was watching food network again well we all know how that turns out, LOL. Anyway he saw a show that had an olive relish on top of steak. I asked what was in it, how it was made etc.. No idea. So i found this and gave it a try. We all like it and we will definately use again. Would be a great topping for all kinds of things. Thanks for the post!!

I really enjoyed this relish!The lemon juice adds a little zip to the olives. Refrigerated overnight and served with evelyn/athens Greek Bruschetta recipe #107298. Great recipe Katie!

What a yummy dipper! This is definately a good base to start with.

This went really well with Greek Hamburgers #11038. I did not add the olive oil since there is plenty in the olives already. I would recommend using the best olives you can afford to make this really shine and doubling the onions.
