Tips & Substitutions
For a fresher taste, consider using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones, especially if they're in season. You can also swap black olives for green ones for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier kick, add more Tabasco sauce or incorporate some diced jalapeños. To balance the acidity, a pinch of sugar can be added if desired.

It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, making it a perfect starter for a barbecue or Mediterranean recipes. For a complete meal, consider serving with crusty bread or a salad on the side.
