Olive oil can be used to make salad dressings, marinades, roasted vegetables, pasta dishes, baked goods, and sauces like pesto or vinaigrette.
Olive oil is traditionally extracted by crushing olives into a paste, pressing the paste to release oil and liquid, and then separating the oil from the water. This process is usually done with specialized equipment.
At home, olives can be crushed into a paste using a blender or mortar and pestle. The paste is then mixed with warm water and strained so the oil can rise to the top and be separated.
Healthy olive oil recipes include roasted vegetables, Mediterranean salads, grilled chicken marinades, olive oil cakes, and homemade vinaigrettes.
