The Greek answer to happy hour: olives, feta, and a glass of bubbles.

STEP 1

Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.

A person holding a metal strainer full of dark purple olives over a wide bowl filled with green olives. A bowl filled with green and dark olives topped with crumbled feta cheese. A bowl of green and black olives topped with cubes of feta cheese, dried herbs, and red pepper flakes.

STEP 2

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavours infuse.

Hands holding a plastic container of marinated olives with feta cheese on a wooden surface. A bowl of green and black olives mixed with crumbled feta cheese and spices, served with a spoon. A hand holds a toothpick skewered with three green olives above a bowl of mixed green and black olives tossed with feta cheese.
