Ingredients

Servings:
1
  • 1 cup black olives, pitted and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and chop the figs and olives as needed.

    Using pitted olives will save time and effort.
  2. Combine Ingredients

    Make sure to mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  3. Blend the Mixture

    A pinch of salt can enhance the flavors if needed.
