You can use whatever you like here, but a good combo of ingredients is equal parts kalamata olives, roasted garlic cloves, peppers, and sun dried tomatoes.
Feel free to experiment with whatever you have available; chances are it will still be delicious.
Tip: If you don’t have an olive bar at your grocery store, you can still make this with jarred olives, roasted peppers, capers, etc.
It’s a good way to clean out all those leftovers in the fridge that you don’t know what to do with.
