You can also add piquillo peppers, or even diced cheese. Actually, you can customize with whatever ingredients you like: from sun-dried tomatoes, to whole garlic cloves or chili peppers, for example.
Stir the entire mixture, close the lid of the jar and shake it to finish integrating all the ingredients. The influencer recommends refrigerating overnight to enhance the flavors. And you can keep it in the fridge for two more weeks.
