Add these Marinated Olives & Feta to the menu the next time you host! They’re such a chic, light appetizer that you can prep the day before (they taste even better that way actually!). I always use @Mezzetta Pitted Italian Castelvetrano Olives because they’re always so crisp with a nice buttery finish, but truly any olives work!!
