- 1 cup flatleaf parsley (coarsely chopped)
- 1/2 cup red onion, (coarsely chopped)
- 4 tbsp capers (rinsed)
- 2 large garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 5 anchovy filets (chopped)
- 1 lemon (zested)

Instructions:
- Just before serving, combine the olives, parsley, onion, capers, garlic, anchovies, and lemon zest in a bowl, and toss well to combine. Add the olive oil and black pepper, and mix well. Add lemon juice and salt to taste (the capers and anchovies are very salty, so you may need only a small amount, or even none at all).
- Spoon onto a serving plate, scatter with Pecorino Romano, and serve with toasted bread.
More about Parsley Salad with Olives and Capers
We usually don’t think about building a salad around parsley unless it is tabbouleh, but with this dish, you’ll never think of it as just a tired old herb again. This robust salad has thoroughly Mediterranean ingredients—oil-cured black olives, garlic, capers, anchovies, olive oil, lemon juice, and Pecorino Romano cheese—and it is fantastically delicious. Flat-leaf parsley has much stronger aromatic oils and a stiffer texture than its curly-leafed cousin, which helps it stand up well to these other powerful flavors.
