1 cup drained giardiniera, finely chopped (italian mixed, pickled vegetables) |
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley, chopped |
3/4 cup pitted green olives, finely chopped |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |

Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine celery, giardiniera, parsley, olives, olive oil, black pepper, and garlic. Set aside.
