As much as we all love to indulge in crunchy snacks, a recipe like this will make you excited to shake things up and reach for a juicy, savory bite of olives. Instead of buying standard pre-marinated olive mix from the grocery store, make your own super-flavorful marinade the combines the anise aroma of fennel, the sweetness of orange and a little heat from red chile flakes. It's easy to make and it's the perfect party snack or appetizer for your next get-together.
