Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse 1 cup of mixed green and black olives under cold water to remove any brine. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the olives to an airtight container. Place the marinated olives in the refrigerator and let them marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
- Before serving, allow the marinated olives to come to room temperature to enhance their flavors. Stir the olives once more to distribute the marinade evenly.
- Serve as an appetizer, snack, or as part of a charcuterie board.
Tips:

- Let the olives marinate for at least a few hours, or even overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or oregano, to create a unique flavor profile.
