This olive salsa brings together briny olives, crisp white onions, red bell peppers, and sweet cherry tomatoes. It’s perfect scooped up with crackers or served over baked chicken or fish.
My fellow olive fans, this one’s for you. This olive salsa is an irresistibly delicious snack, appetizer, or simple side dish — the kind you keep coming back to with “just one more bite.”
Our three favorite olives are mixed with crunchy red pepper and white onion, sweet cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of oregano. It’s a simple combination that somehow turns magical, with briny, fresh, and savory flavors all playing perfectly together.
This is one of those recipes I love to make when friends are coming over because it’s quick to throw together and actually gets better as it sits. I’ll often make it earlier in the day (or even the day before) and let the flavors mingle in the fridge, then bring it to room temperature before serving. Easy, unfussy, and always a hit — exactly my kind of entertaining food.
Serving ideas to try
This olive salsa recipe is super versatile. As an appetizer, I enjoy it scooped up with crackers, stuffed into endive boats, or piled on top of baked brie.
But I also like to serve it with dinner. Try it on top of baked cod, piled on pan-seared chicken breast, or mixed into rice or quinoa.
