After trying our Galilee Green Olive Oil she exclaimed, “it is so light and refreshing with a very balanced and non overwhelming flavor!”

So we asked her to come up with some recipes using our Galilee Green olive oil.

Zissie explains, “This salad is filling, refreshing and bursting with flavor. If you are not a cilantro lover you can leave it out. The key here is to use the freshest ingredients.”
