Best Answer

Generally, any salty/pickled ingredient becomes part of the overall salt (and acid) balance of a salad - since olives are salty but not INEDIBLY salty, you can decide to taste how much you want to include, and how fine you want to cut them - you could do everything between including them whole (maybe pitted) and cutting/grinding them to a mince, brunoise, or paste - or a combination of such. The trick is to reduce the salt (and maybe acid) you add to other parts of the salad.

How do you seal olives?

Boiling the brine sterilises the water and prevents any mould from forming that would spoil the olives. Pour the hot brine over the olives, ensuring they are completely submerged but there is still a 2cm gap at the top of the jars. Seal; the jars will seal hermetically as they cool.

Do olives need to be sealed?

To make the most of your goods, store unopened liquid-packed olives in a cool, dark place (in the pantry, a dark cabinet or somewhere where the temperature doesn't climb above 75 degrees). Once you've opened the jar, close the lid well for an airtight seal and stick the container in the fridge.

Do you put olives in salad?

A traditional Greek salad consists of sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, green bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta cheese. This classic combination is delicious, so I stick to it, just adding a handful of mint leaves for a fresh finishing touch. My olives of choice are Kalamata olives.

How do you use olives in a jar?

Go heavy on the olive brine, if that's your thing, and load up on olive garnishes. Or leave the olives out of the drink and serve them alongside. You can leave them as they are, or give them a warm bath in herby olive oil. This one has orange and rosemary; this one has garlic and anchovies.
