Herbed green olive, pomegranate and walnut salad. Is this a salad or a relish? I always find myself asking that. I think it can go either way, because it is equally delicious when served with bread.
Super easy. All you have to do is grab a handful of firm green olives, preferably a variety with a slight bitterness to it, and combine it with some fresh herbs, pomegranate arils, and walnuts. The dressing is made with essential ingredients commonly found in the cuisine of Armenia, the Levant and surrounding regions.
