Dress Up Your Dish with Black California Olives recipe contest

olive and cucumber salad I love black olives, don’t you? My kids certainly do since one of their favorite things is to put large black olives on their fingers and then eat them off one by one. I don’t have a problem with them doing that knowing that olives contain healthy fats and are only 7 calories per large olive.

If you love black olives as much as my family does, you may be interested in participating in the California Olive Committee’s Dress Up Your Dish recipe contest.
