2. Puttenesca Sauce. I make up mine using good jarred sauce, black olives, extra garlic and some hot chili flakes.
3. I like sliced green ones on deviled eggs
4. Green ones are good in potato salad
5. Cream cheese and green olives with pimento. Spread on crackers. Sometimes I add a bit of shredded cheddar cheese and some spicy peppers
6. Olive and mayonnaise sandwiches.
We have a grocery store which has a large olive/pickle/dip/ section of the store. All the olives are the same price per pound, so you can mix them up. They have these giant green ones that have been dressed up with spicy Italian seasonings - so good!!!!! It's right by the deli, and one of the guys there told us it was the highest grossing section of the store. Which considering the price of their meat is saying a lot. The deli section is conveniently right by one of the entrances so folks can run in and grab a sandwich, or some cheese or items from the olive bar. https://www.centralmarket.com/product-category/deli/olive-bar/1309768.1309773?page=1
