An Emeril Lagasse recipe via About.com. Perfect for Mardi Gras! Don't use canned black olives-trust me it won't taste as good. To save money, I purchased only as many olives as were needed for this recipe from our local natural food store's very convenient 'olive bar'. Don't feel obligated to limit yourself to nicoise. Use a variety of imported olives (they don't have to be French either).

Steps:
- Combine black olives, pimiento-stuffed green olives, olive oil, shallots, celery, parsley, garlic, and pepper in a medium sized non-reactive mixing bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Note: I liked the taste of the salad better at room temperature.
- Emeril says: "Olive Salad is used to dress those wonderful Italian sandwiches called muffalettas.".
- We served the olive salad over a bed of mixed greens which included baby arugula.
- Yield is estimated.
