When it comes to dressing olives it’s important that you still can appreciate and taste the olive itself. Too much garlic, too much lemon, too much chili pepper are the most common excesses.
Also, make sure that your olives don’t carry the overpowering taste of brine or salt.
You can prevent this by soaking them in cold water overnight.
Once dressed, leaving the olives in the fridge for a couple of days will help flavors to come together.
This dressing, having a touch of bitter-sweet flavors is an ideal match for an aperitif like Cinzano or Campari.
