If you’re hosting a party or planning a tapas style dinner night, try infusing the flavors of olives with your meal. Whether you decide to host two or twenty, these two appetizers will be perfect for entertaining guests or a quiet date night at home.
Since I am always experimenting with easy recipes, I decided to take two simple combinations and add these flavorful olives to the recipes. The results included an olive and feta bruschetta along with a spicy side salad!
To prep these two easy recipes in a hurry, you first need quality olives. Grab a few other fresh vegetables, and get ready for an awesome dish to share.
Olive Feta Bruschetta
Ingredients
- 8 roma tomatoes, diced
- 4 tbsp basil pesto cooking sauce (try finding this near the produce)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 can of Olives from Spain green olives
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 loaf French bread, sliced and toasted
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients into a bowl. Let chill for an hour or so in the refrigerator.
- Slice the loaf of bread in thin slices. Toast slices for 3 minutes in an oven heated to 350 degrees.
- Top toasted bread with a table spoon of olive bruschetta mix.
I love toasted French bread, and I have come to be quite the bruschetta fan. It’s my go to appetizer for parties and holidays, and I’ve tried making other combinations with peppers or onions. However, using green olives was quite flavorful!

This sounds so good, I love anything with olives in it. I’ll be sure to check this brand out and see if I can find them around here. Thanks for sharing.

Take out the olives and add in mushroom (do you think that’d go together?) and I’d gobble that right up. Gorgeous food photography, too!! You have some real talent Krystal!! :)
Nina Say says
I’m the kind of person who thinks there is nothing better than olives. So naturally this looks absolutely delicious.
Liz Mays says
That salad sounds absolutely amazing. The picture is making me so hungry! I love olives and I love spinach!

I love this idea so much, though I’m not too crazy about olives; they never sit well with me!

I’m not a fan of olives but I am loving the look of that bruschetta. I’d love the feta toasted on that.
Beth says
That looks so good! (sans the olives). I make a variation of bruschetta almost every day for lunch. I might just need to go out and buy some feta!

You know, I really, truly dislike olives – unless they are on bruschetta! Somehow I can eat them when I have them like that, but otherwise, no thank you!

Cherri Megasko says
Olives, feta and bruschetta … triple yum! I may have to call my husband and ask him to bring home a baguette on his way home from work. I have some olives, tomatoes and feta waiting here to meet it!

I love bruschetta but I never had it made with Feta. I will have to have my son make this for me sometime.
Racquel Schroder says
Maybe I’ll use this to get my husband to give olives another try. He is very much NOT a fan, despite being pretty open minded about almost everything. Olives and shellfish, he’ll have no part of though.
