Excess olive brine from jars can be repurposed into a salad dressing, according to a new recipe published today. The liquid, described as being full of savoury flavour, is suggested as a way to enhance a classic salade niçoise dressing.
The vinaigrette recipe uses three ingredients: olive brine for salt and depth, red-wine vinegar for acidity, and olive oil for substance. The dressing will not hold a stable emulsion and requires shaking before serving.
Once prepared, the olive-brine dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
What this means for you: You could use leftover olive brine from jars to make a salad dressing, potentially reducing food waste.
