Tasty And Healthy Olive Oil



I grow up with my family who owned many orchids of olive trees; it was very fun going with them to harvest olive. Olive oil is one of the most important ingredients in my mother cooking and flavoring her dishes by drizzling some olive oil over it especially when making Hummus. Olive oil very popular and the meddle eastern dishes, because it has unique flavor and healthy. The fat from olive oil is called monounsaturated fat and it good for the body unlike butter and other fat sources.
There are unlimited ways to use olive oil in the cooking or flavoring, I like it over the hummus and with all salad dressing. One of the delicious ways to enjoy the taste of olive oil is by making this simple sandwich that my kids adore. The sandwich is called Arosa, and it’s made by putting some sliced tomato, dry mint, olive oil, and salt together in the bread to create the very simple yet very yummy sandwich. I love olive oil and I use it in most of my dishes especially the extra virgin one because it is very rich in flavor, color, and remind me of my sweet home Syria.
