Marinated Olives with Fennel
Shaved fennel adds a crunchy, refreshing bite to the olives, while the lemon zest and chile pepper liven things up. Fennel greens make the dish colorful and festive.
It only takes minutes to put this together, and you can refrigerate this for up to one week; bring to room temperature before serving.
