| You can do this recipe either with black olives or with the green ones. If the salad has lettuce, so that the sauce stands out more, we can use the black sauce to give an extra touch of color. If a vinaigrette has to be used for dishes made with tomato, pasta, rice or vegetables, we can use both, green or black olives. |
