Going to try making the olives this weekend.

Hi Xenia, I highlighted this particular blend because this post was a collaboration with The Spice House… I also listed a bunch of other ways to use it up so it doesn’t get left behind in the drawer. Highly recommend! You could try a mix of spices that make up an Italian blend or just get creative with what you might have on hand.

Hi Lorna, I highlighted this particular blend because this post was a collaboration with The Spice House. You could try any Italian sort of blend, but this one was very good here!

Hi Lisa, yes, both components can be made ahead of time, and if you wanted the crostini softer, just bake it less. I hope you enjoy!

I make a similar dip with cream cheese (altho ricotta sounds wonderful) and I use oregano, thyme, basil, garlic chives and parsley from my garden. I think any Italian seasoning would work. I make marinated olives with bottled Italian dressing in a pinch and people still seem to love them.

They usually get used and then forgotten and set aside. Can you suggest what I might use as a combination of traditional spices instead of a blend or mix?

Also, the crostini if I want it a little softer so it’s not like a chip or cracker, just bake a shorter amount of time? Would it still be okay? How would I store for the trip?
Thank you, Lisa

Do you have a blend of spices that would work instead of the one linked in the recipe?

Please and thanks,
Lorna
