Preparation
STEP 1
Add olives to a bowl. Stuff one almond into each olive until you use them all up, not all olives will be filled.
STEP 2
Cube feta and add to the bowl of olives. You can stuff some of the remaining olives with feta if you wish.
STEP 3
Add garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, and red pepper flake. Lightly mix to coat and spread flavors. Serve at room temperature.
Options
Rather than raw garlic try adding a ¼ cup of roasted garlic cloves. If you're an herb lover add a teaspoon of minced parsley, thyme, or rosemary.
Toasted bread, pita, or crostini can be served on the side to enjoy with the olives and cheese.
