What kind of oil did you use? I used Extra virgin olive oil and it tasted too strongly of the oil.

This was a simple and delicious recipe! It was a hit with even the pickiest eaters of our family! The only changes I would make is to double the pickled onions & cukes recipe as this was very popular, and to possibly add a little more olive oil as it runs a little dry (you have to use your judgement).
