Most versions, though, stop there and end up tasting a little one-note and sweet. My fix is a black-olive crumb, made by drying olives in a low oven until they turn leathery and then chopping them to a savoury, salty gravel, which scatters over the top and gives the whole salad a dark, briny anchor that stops it drifting into pudding territory.</p>Thu, 02 Oct 2025 07:00:00 +0000
