1/2 cup pitted Greek olives, sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup artichoke hearts or quartered artichoke bottoms
1/2 cup sliced celery (preferably the smaller, lighter green inner hearts)
1 roasted red bell pepper (see roasting technique, p. 122), peeled, seeded, and diced
1 small red onion, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
