Recipe Contest Winner

We asked for colorful olive recipes and your response was tremendous. From salads to spreads to beautiful braised dishes, it’s easy to see that California Ripe Olives can really brighten up any part of the meal.

It was a long process of testing and tasting (yeah, but someone’s got to do it!) and we finally came up with our winner from Theresa Leavitt of Anchorage, Alaska. Her "Chilled Salmon and Rice Salad" is perfect for those warm summertime nights, when we’re all looking to keep our kitchens as cool as can be. Just toss together these seven simple ingredients, kick back on your porch and you’ll enjoy a delicious meal in a matter of minutes.

Chilled Salmon and Rice Salad

  • 4 cups cooked long grain rice
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 can California Ripe Olives
  • 1 pound cooked or canned red salmon
  • light Italian dressing

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, except for dressing. Then add dressing to taste. Chill. Serve cold with toast points. Serves 6-8.

Congratulations to Theresa Leavitt. We hope she enjoys her California Olive Industry apron.
