Delicious orange juice, spicy jalapenos, herbaceous cilantro and parsley- these are some of the things that I really like about this citrus marinated olive dish. It gives a nice little spin on your cocktail olives. And enables you to make something a little bit special and a little different in advance and be able to wow your guess with the flavor.
