Andrew's Note: Olives are generally cured in a salty brine to draw out the bitterness and make them palatable. They also are often dried and go through other processing.
I don't eat them for this reason, but because this is otherwise a very well-put-together recipe that looks great, I've decided to post it and allow individual readers to make their own decision.
Replacing the olives with some avocado to get a similar creamy texture might be a good solution.
