Marinated Olives With Lemon and Fresh Herbs image

Many grocery stores now carry bulk olives. I buy large bulk green olives, with pits, and dress them up with this flavor-packed marinade. It's a wonderful appetizer during the summer when fresh herbs are plentiful. Serve with wine and cheese for a wonderful summertime appetizer.
