The Spicy Olive’s Mandarin Pasta Salad

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 vinegar. Pair it with our  Blood Orange olive oil for a delicious orange citrus flavor!

The Spicy Olive’s Balsamic Burgers

Adding balsamic vinegar to burgers adds a mouth watering richness to the meat. Neapolitan Herb balsamic is my favorite addition to burgers, because it adds flavors similar to Worcestershire sauce. Other Spicy Olive balsamic vinegars that would be tasty added to hamburger are Traditional Aged 18 Year, Espresso, and Dark Chocolate.

The Spicy Olive’s Best Flank Steak

This recipe is a delicious way to add flavor to a flank steak. You can also use a flat iron steak or a skirt steak. This marinade will add flavor to strip steaks or rib eye steaks too! Marinade overnight for full flavor or at least for 2 hours, and allow steak to come to room temperature before grilling, this releases the flavors into the meat. Flanks steaks are an affordable way to have steak for company!

The Spicy Olive’s Summer Corn Salad

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!

The Spicy Olive’s German-style Potato Salad

My Grandma always made a delicious German potato salad with a vinaigrette dressing and lots of crumbled bacon. This is my take on her recipe using our delicious olive oils and balsamic vinegars for the dressing! The Olivewood Smoked olive oil adds to the smoky flavor the bacon imparts on the salad!

The Spicy Olive’s Blood Orange Olive Oil, Coconut, Cherries, and Cashews Granola

A delicious snack or breakfast food! The Blood Orange olive oil and vanilla give this granola a surprising flavor. Delicious served over Greek Yogurt, ice cream or eat by the handful for a healthy snack

Dark Chocolate and Blood Orange Olive Oil Madeleines

Absolutely mind blowing. Here’s a perfect example of using olive oil not simply because it’s amazingly good for the human body, but also because if used in the proper context, it can elevate even the most humble of culinary applications.
The bright, citrus notes of the Blood Orange Olive Oil play beautifully with the deep, earthy, rich dark chocolate. The exterior edges are just ever so barely caramelized, while the middles are ethereal and moist.

These would also be delicious made with The Spicy Olive’s Butter olive oil!

The Spicy Olive’s Derby Pie

A delicious Kentucky tradition served every May to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. A take on Pecan pie, except perfected by adding walnuts, bourbon and some Dark Chocolate balsamic vinegar!
