1 orange, reserving all of the peel + juice $0.77
1 ½ cups Mediterranean olive mix*, drained $2.40
4 cloves garlic, smashed but kept whole $0.09

Instructions

Peel orange with a vegetable peeler and juice the rest of it. Gather all ingredients.

Notes

*Any variety of olives will do! I love finding a ''Mediterranean olive mix'' at the store, so I only have to buy one jar of olives if I'm not using up what I already have on hand.
