Notes

Pro-tip- if you don’t regularly use the ingredients in this recipe, like Kalamata olives, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, or feta, don’t be daunted! Head to your local grocery and hit the salad bar to get the ingredients. You can often find everything but the parsley at a salad bar or olive bar in large grocery chains. Otherwise, invest in a jar of each item and see my list of favorite recipes that use those delicious Mediterranean ingredients. You can use them in so many great ways and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
