Directions To make the olive condiment:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the two types of olives, black mission olives, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and basil olive oil.
  • Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or another nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover.
  • Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.

 To Make Sandwiches:

  • Cut bread in large triangles. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil.

  • Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours.
