Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 (12-oz.) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
  • 1 (16-oz.) jar giardiniera mix, drained and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup green olives, pitted and finely chopped (preferably Castelvetrano olives)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. chili oil (or more to taste)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped marinated artichoke hearts, giardiniera mix, green olives, and fresh parsley. Add the chili oil and drizzle in a bit of extra-virgin olive oil to help bring all the flavors together. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to ensure an even coating of the oils and seasonings.
  2. Season and Marinate: Season the salad with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. If you want the salad to have an extra kick, add more chili oil. Once well mixed, allow the salad to marinate for 1 to 2 hours either refrigerated or at room temperature to let the flavors meld beautifully.
  3. Store and Serve: After marinating, the salad is ready to serve. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a vibrant appetizer, side dish, or even a topping for bruschetta or grilled meats.

Notes

  • The salad gets spicier the longer it marinates, so adjust chili oil accordingly.
  • Using Castelvetrano olives is recommended for their buttery flavor but any green olives will work.
  • This salad pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, grilled chicken, or as part of an antipasto platter.
  • Leftovers keep well for up to 1 week refrigerated in an airtight container.
