Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Pit and chop the green olives if needed, then add them to the bowl.
- Drain the capers and add them in.
- Toast the pine nuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Allow them to cool slightly before adding to the bowl.
- Finely chop the fresh chives.
- Add the dried oregano and finely chopped chives to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes, olives, capers, and pine nuts.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Add the vinegar.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Make sure the olive oil and vinegar are well distributed.
- Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. The capers and olives are already salty, so you might not need additional salt. You can also add a touch of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
- Serve the salsa immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This salsa is perfect as a topping for grilled fish, chicken, or as a vibrant, tangy dip with crusty bread.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- To save time, you can use pre-pitted olives or chop them ahead of time.
- Lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to enhance their flavor before adding to the salsa.
- For a more intense flavor, let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different types of olives, like Kalamata or Castelvetrano, to find your preferred taste.
