Step 1

Cut the hero rolls in half lengthwise and set them aside.

In a medium bowl, prepare the olive relish by combining the chopped Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Season the olive relish with salt and black pepper, then stir well to combine. Let the relish sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
