Step 1

1. Drain the green olives and capers to remove excess brine. Rinse the capers under cold water to mellow their saltiness, if desired.

Step 5

5. If using fresh parsley, gently fold it into the mix for an added layer of freshness.

Step 6

6. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 30 minutes before using to let the flavors meld together.

Step 7

7. Serve as a topping for rice dishes, mix it into stews, or enjoy as a standalone condiment. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
