Nutty Olive Spread

Speaking of olives, I came across this recipe for a nutritious sandwich spread that I’d like to share with you:

1 cup chopped ripe olives
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped fine
1/4 cup almonds, chopped fine
1/4 cup sesame or sunflower seeds, ground
1/4 cup celery, chopped fine (optional)

Mix together with enough mayonnaise to make it the consistency desired for sandwiches or chips.

My favorite raw food supplier, Sunfood Nutrition, has these Raw Power Olives for sale. They say, “These delicious PITTED brownish/red, kalamata-style olives are packed in pure water, fresh garlic, fresh oregano, whole ripe cayenne pepper, and a dash of celtic sea salt. These are the olives promoted in the book Raw Power!“

Hi, my name is Linda. This is my personal home and hearth journal.

I am a self-trained herbal practitioner. I became a vegetarian when I was a teenager in the 1960s. I was a San Francisco Bay Area hippie in the 60s and early 70s. Then I became a mom - the most important job I've ever had.

Now I live in a very small mountain community. The nearest fast food restaurant is more than forty miles during summer, and more than seventy miles in winter when the pass is snowed under. I've never owned a cell phone, but I talked on one once. I work in one of the two local restaurants.
