3/4 cup whole pecans, toasted and chopped fine
1/2 cup green olives, pitted and without the red pimento
3 tablespoons The Olive Oil Source medium to strong extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pecans on a small baking pan and toast for 10 minutes, stirring once for even browning. Cool. Reserve 1/4 cup whole pecans for garnish and chop the remaining 1/2 cup finely.
