👩‍🍳 Instructions

Prepare the Cheese & Salami

Cut cheese into bite-size cubes. Slice or roll the salami into small pieces.

Make the Marinade

In a bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), Italian seasoning, oregano, garlic, chili flakes, and black pepper.

Combine

Add cheese, salami, and green olives to a large bowl or airtight container.

Pour the marinade over everything and gently toss to coat.

Marinate

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (best flavor after 2–4 hours).

Stir once or twice if marinating longer.

Serve

Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
