| 1/2 cup pitted briny green olives |
| 1/4 cup Marcona almonds or other almonds, toasted (see Ingredient Note and Tip) |
| 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried |
| 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
To toast almonds, spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes.
Ingredient Note: Spanish Marcona almonds have recently become more popular and more available. They're a little flatter than ordinary almonds, with a richer flavor. Always skinned, most Marcona almonds have already been sautéed in oil and lightly salted when you get them. |
