Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients. Ensure the olives are pitted and the parsley is rinsed and chopped.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a screw-top jar or a food processor, combine the salt, cayenne, white vinegar, stuffed green olives, parsley, sugar, and dry mustard.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Secure the lid on the jar or processor and shake vigorously or pulse until the ingredients are well combined and the olives and parsley are finely chopped.
-
Dress the Greens: In a large salad bowl, place the mixed greens. Lightly toss the greens with the prepared vinaigrette until they are evenly coated. Be careful not to overdress; the goal is to lightly coat the greens, not drown them in dressing.
-
Serve or Store: Serve the dressed greens immediately as a refreshing side dish or accompaniment to your main course. If there’s any leftover dressing, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for future use.
Storage: Any remaining vinaigrette can be stored in the fridge for an extended period. Simply transfer it to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate until needed. Give it a good shake or stir before using it again to ensure the flavors are well distributed.
