The Spicy Olive’s Mandarin Pasta Salad

June 25, 2019/in Pasta, Salad, Sides, Vegetables almond slivers, baby spinach leaves, Cucumber, Farfalle Pasta, fresh ginger, Garlic, Mandarin orange segments, purple onion, red bell pepper, The Spciy Olive's Roasted sesame oil, The Spicy Olive's Argumato Mandarin olive oil, The Spicy Olive's Honey Ginger Balsamic Vinegar Side Item 0 stars /by spicyolive

This is the perfect pasta salad for pot luck dinners and summer parties! This one is also a salad that kids love! Add grilled chicken to make this main dish instead of a side.

The Mandarin Pasta salad has an Asian flare because it is dressed with our Honey Ginger balsamic but to play up the Mandarin tangerine flavor, I used The Spicy Olive’s Mandarin olive oil. It is packed with delicious citrus flavor and is the perfect compliment. If our Mandarin olive oil is not available (it is a seasonal olive oil) our Blood Orange olive oil is a great substitute!

The Spicy Olive’s Summer Corn Salad

May 31, 2019/in Salad, Vegetables Avocado, Cherry Tomatoes, corn ears, Cucumber, fresh basil, fresh dill, fresh mint, red onion, salt and pepper, The Spicy Olive's Red Wine vinegar, The Spicy Olive's Single vareital olive oil Side Item 0 stars /by spicyolive

This salad is a delicious summer side dish made with fresh corn! For south of the border flavor and a little heat, try it with our Persian Lime olive oil and Serrano Honey balsamic vinegar instead of the varieties in the recipe. Add cilantro if using this combo instead of the dill and mint in this recipe. Another delicious combination for this salad would be The Spicy Olive’s Basil olive oil and our Lemongrass Mint balsamic. That combo will play up the fresh herbs in the salad!
