• Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Bring to room temperature, taste, and adjust amount of garlic and black pepper as desired.

• Brush cut sides with a little of the liquid from the dressing.
• Cover bottom of the split rolls with lots of thinly sliced ham, salami, and provolone cheese.
• Top with several tablespoons of olive dressing and the top of the roll.
• Salad dressing- Combine some of the olive dressing with more olive oil and wine vinegar.

• Spread or Dip- Combine 1/2 cup olive dressing with softened cream cheese.
