DesertDog, I tried the recipe you linked yesterday. For those who missed it, here's the recipe:

2 cups firmly packed drained pimiento-stuffed green olives, sliced crosswise

4 ribs of celery, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 small red onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt

1 carrot, quartered lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise

3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves

2 teaspoons dried orégano, crumbled

1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

1/4 cup olive oil

I forgot what kind of onion it called for; I ended up using a white onion rather than red, I forgot parsley, and I don't have white wine vinegar, so I used red. I omitted the carrot, and the red bell pepper, as I like neither.

All together, it tastes pretty good, but it's not exactly what the shop had. I put it in the fridge to soak in the oil and vinegar, both of which I added more than it called for. The stuff I've had was swimming in it.

Next time I'll try the correct ingredients. Tomorrow I think I'm going to cook some chicken in my wok and make a chicken bacon ranch sub and throw some of this in it. I look forward to tomorrow morning (I should be home by 0130).

That is made entirely out of things I despise and looks delicious

Glad to hear it tastes OK. I have to go to the grocery store today so I will get what I don't have and make some.

I was with you until you said "looks delicious."

Double yum. Just pulled it out of the fridge and had a few spoonfuls. Much closer. Try the red onion, apply more vinegar and oil, (I put more vinegar than oil) and let it sit overnight... much better after sitting in the vinegar/oil mixture.
