Snowbaby1969 Posted July 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2012 :) Hi all, I'm new to this and a friend suggested that I post here for my question. We just got back from our cruise on Freedom of the Seas. While on this cruise I had a awesome salad with black and green olives in it. It was delicious and I would love to make it for myself here at home. Does anyone have a recipe? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the olive tapenade? I don't have RCI's recipe, but there are tons of recipes for tapenade available online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxoocruiser Posted July 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2012 OP might be asking about Mediteranean Salad served in the Windjammer at lunch as the Olive Tapenade is served as an apetizer in the MDR at dinner with some pita chips or something like that.

Bazzito Posted July 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Be careful about gettng an RCI recipe. A number of years ago, a friend of ours fell in love with one of their soups and was able to get the recipe from the chef. The ingredients required were to serve 250!! :eek: Really. She has never really able to adjust the indredients to this day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted July 6, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Could you be talking about the Greek Salad in the Windmammer? If so, that was the one thing that I had every single day on our last few RCI cruises. (I think I was Greek in a former life!) No recipe really needed - it's just diced cucumber, bell pepper, onion, Kalamata (or Greek black) or green olives, crumbled feta cheese. For a dressing, use a basic olive oil and vingear dressing, add a little salt and pepper, and a dash of Greek or Italian spices. Proportions aren't really important - just add what you like!

Snowbaby1969 Posted July 6, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I found this at the Windjammer in the evening. It only had the black olives, green olives and some sort of dressing. It was by the antipasto (meats & cheeses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPacificbound Posted July 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Does this look anything close to what you are asking about? 1/2 cup black olives 1/2 cup green olives 1 tablespoon capers (optional) 2 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste Adjust quantity as needed, finely chop olives and mix everything. Refrigerate for two hours before serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastordonna Posted July 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2012 While on the Solstice we had wonderful buffalo wings. Would love to know how they made them so tender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a dressing, use a basic olive oil and vingear dressing, add a little salt and pepper, and a dash of Greek or Italian spices. Proportions aren't really important - just add what you like! I eat a version of this almost every day for lunch. Chopped tomatoes, cukes (I leave out the onion for the sake of my clients I deal with after lunch!) a few black olives, feta cheese, olive oil, vinegar and I cheat and use a prepackaged Greek dry spice mix. (Growing up, we spiced up our own out of the various appropriate spices). That and a piece of bread is it! It's a very healthy lunch. In Greece, it isn't chopped, and it's really just slices of tomato, spears of cukes, a huge chunk of feta, black olives, olive oil and vinegar. Other ingredients are at the discretion of the yiayia making it. Loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
