Used different ingredients. I always have an empty dish to bring home from dinner party when I bring this along. I like to throw in abit of oregano (dried/fresh - whatever you have on hand) along with a handful of diced sun dried tomatoes. I have used a combination of olives as well - and it turned out great. Make sure that you rinse your olives first tho' - it cuts down a bit on the saltiness of the brine that they are stored in. - 08 Oct 2008
