Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16 ounces (450g) Colby-Jack cheese, cubed
  • 12 ounces (340g) Kalamata olives, drained
  • 1 cup (240ml) Italian salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

    • In a large bowl, gently mix the cubed cheese, Kalamata olives, Italian salad dressing, dried Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and smashed garlic cloves until well combined.
  • Marinate:
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Prepare for Serving or Gifting:
    • After marinating, divide the mixture evenly among 6 pint-sized glass jars.
    • Place one garlic clove and one sprig of fresh rosemary into each jar.
    • Pour any remaining dressing into the jars, ensuring the contents are well-coated.
  • Storage:
    • Store the jars in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Cheese Selection: While Colby-Jack cheese is recommended for its mild flavor that absorbs the marinade well, feel free to substitute with your preferred cheese variety.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve the marinated cheese and olives as an appetizer alongside crusty bread or crackers.
  • Gifting Idea: These marinated cheese and olive jars make excellent homemade gifts for friends and family.
