Lemon Cilantro Moroccan Olives

---

If you love cilantro, you'll love these olives. And... Start them a week ahead to marinate. They really perk up a relish tray, and are delicious in salad. This is a recipe where you can tweak it to your liking a bit; let me add that a little extra lemon juice doesn't hurt a bit...! Prep time includes allowing olives to sit overnight to un-brine"; and another week to mellow."
