The original recipe comes from the July 2015 Canadian Living Magazine. I revised it slightly because I can’t stand black olives, and I adjusted it to be just enough for the two of us plus leftovers for the next day. It was actually better the next day – the flavours mellowed and it was still nice and moist.
I didn’t have fresh parsley so I used dried parsley and I didn’t have any green onions. Using black olives and green onions would definitely give the salad more color, but it still tasted awesome!
