LEMON GARLIC MARINATED OLIVES

So I am coming back at you today with another easy semi-homemade party app recipe. If you know anything about me or ever made it to a party I plan, you will see how much I love a cheese board and think it’s a necessity for every kind of party. If you read my post on Orange Spiced nuts, here, you will see how I love to make simple recipes to go along with the store-bought cheese. Here is another super easy recipe that will be a great addition to any board.

Y’all, parties don’t have to be complicated. They should be fun to throw! You should focus on making your guest feel welcome and enjoying the party yourself. I hope the easy party recipes I am bringing you over the next couple of weeks with help with that. This one takes a few minutes to put together and can be done the night before. That is a win!

1. Drain the olives from the can and set aside.

2. Mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan.

3. Heat the mixture over medium heat until warmed and just starting to sizzle.
4. Pour the mixture of the olives and add lemon juice. Mix to cover the olives.5. Let them marinate at room temperature, occasionally mixing to distribute the marinade.
6. Store in the fridge until ready to server.

See what I mean, 5 minutes and you have a semi-homemade dish to serve along your favorite cheese. Mine is a super sharp cheddar. What are your go-to cheeses and accompaniments??? Comment below!
