Spanish Salsa

When it comes to salsa, sometimes I like to be a little fancy. What can I say? Sometimes you need to do something a little different. My friends at STAR just came out with four new olive varieties and asked me to come up with some fun recipes. The new flavors include Lemon Stuffed Green Olives, Hot Pepper Stuffed Green Olives, Garlic and Basil Marinated Olives, and Tomato and Peppers Marinated Olives. I’ll be sharing recipes for each of these new olives throughout the next couple of months, but first up is the Spanish-inspired, Tomato and Peppers Green Olives!

I went with a fresh Spanish Salsa with these olives and it was sooooo good! I have to admit that sometimes green olives are a little too salty for me, but I loved this salsa. The green olives paired so perfectly with the fresh tomatoes. And the best part of this was using the marinated pieces of garlic and peppers in the jar!

This salsa is ready in just 5 minutes and is so flavorful and fresh. You literally just toss everything in the food processor and let it go! This salsa is refreshing and perfect for serving for any party, even for watching football! I served it with some lightly salted pita chips, but you could also do sliced and toasted baguette.
