Nutrition Tip 
Just like olive oil, olives contain monounsaturated fats. These are healthy fats that benefit our heart and reduce inflammation in the body.
Antipasto is the Italian equivalent to the American appetizer or French hors d'oeuvres. It is a combination of small foods served before the meal.
