  • ½ small shallot, thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup pitted Castelvetrano olives
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers
  • 1 small garlic clove, peeled
  • Grated zest and juice of 1 small orange
  • 1½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Salad

  • 1½ cups fregola or Israeli couscous

Instructions

  1. Make the Olive Relish: Thinly slice the shallot and soak in water for 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a food processor. Pulse the olives and capers until finely minced. Grate garlic into the bowl and add orange zest, juice, oil, vinegar, oregano, and salt. Stir to combine and refrigerate.
