"Can't get much easier. Makes a great appetizer for a party; and, is perfect to make ahead. I think I first saw this recipe in a Woman's Day magazine; but, there are many versions of this all over the web. And, I like to use the large pitted green olives (un-stuffed) for this recipe. Sometimes I will actually buy them online; or, one of the ethnic markets. However, Lindsay, a popular brand in most local stores in the US, do sell Manzanilla large pitted green olives which work fine."
