The mustard and red wine vinegar are my favorite ingredients in this recipe. I followed the recipe but I also used half Greek olives and half regular black olives, but this might be too much tang for some people’s tastes. It’s very easy to make and tastes great, and keeps getting better the longer it chills. It’s also very colorful and attractive in the bowl. Sure to be a hit at your next family gathering!
