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

So I asked her to come up with some recipes using our Galilee Green olive oil. We recently shared her yummy Salmon Tomato Salad Recipe with you. Here’s another great one!

Says Zissie, “This is just so pretty and so simple! Feel free to use garlic powder instead but it won’t be as amazing!”
