I've read this recipe over and over and I still can't find any mention of olives in the ingredient list. Which should I use and how many?? Should they be pitted and sliced? Roughly chopped? Help a girl out!

This refreshing salad, which is based on a family recipe from SAVEUR editorial assistant Maria Xerakia, is the perfect accompaniment for rustic main courses such as grilled leg of lamb.
