This salad is a bit too oily. I would recommend using less olive oil in the dressing.

This salad is a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

The crostini were a bit too hard for my liking. I would recommend toasting them for a shorter amount of time.

This salad is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the dressing.

I'm allergic to olives, but I was still able to enjoy this salad by substituting them with capers.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a few hours ahead of time and it will still be delicious.

This salad is a great way to add a pop of color to your plate. The green olives, red bell pepper, and yellow lemon zest make it a visually appealing dish.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so flavorful that it really balances out the briny taste of the olives.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover olives. I always have a jar of olives in my fridge, so this recipe is a lifesaver.

The crostini were the perfect vessel for the olive salad. They were crispy and sturdy, and they held up well to the dressing.

This olive salad with crostini was a delightful appetizer that was easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of briny olives, tangy dressing, and crispy crostini was perfect.
