What's the difference between kalamata olives and black olives?

Kalamata olives are generally larger than black olives, a little thinner in shape, and more of a purple color.

Black olives have a much stronger flavor, Kalamata olives are a little sweeter but both have that olive sharpness in general.

Both black and kalamata olives will work in this recipe.

Recipe Tips

• I prefer English cucumbers because it has fewer seeds. But any cucumbers will work you just may want to remove the seeds first.
• I used Gemelli pasta but any small pasta will work, or leave it out altogether.
• Try adding in some avocado, artichoke hearts, or bell peppers for a twist.

How long will this last?

This will last 3-4 days in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator. I make this on the weekend so it's a quick and easy lunch to grab during the week. Keep the dressing separate and just give it a quick stir and add as needed throughout the week.

What should I serve this with?

• Sweet n Spicy Grilled Chicken
• Crispy Chicken Thighs
• Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri
• Pan-Seared Rib Eye Steak
• Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter
