6 servings
For the marinated olives
- 1 cup pitted mixed olives (such as castelvetrano and kalamata)
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp lemon zest
For the platter
- 1 can (12 oz) roasted red peppers, drained and sliced into strips
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts in water, drained and halved
- 2 cans (4.25 oz each) sardines in olive oil, drained
Ingredient noteSardines are one of the lowest-mercury fish and are recommended during pregnancy - this recipe has about 1.4 oz per serving, well inside the two to three servings a week that is advised.
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup persian cucumbers, sliced into rounds
- ½ cup dry-roasted almonds
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the olives, 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over low heat. Warm, stirring once or twice, until the oil is fragrant and the olives are heated through, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let the olives marinate in the warm oil for at least 15 minutes.
- 2
While the olives marinate, whisk together the 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until combined.
