Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Serves 4

2 generous handfuls flat-leaf parsley
1 medium bunch of mint
30ml/1fl oz extra-virgin olive oil
10ml/1/2fl oz red-wine vinegar
50g/2oz good-quality capers (preferably preserved in salt)
60g/21/2oz good-quality black olives such as Ligurian or Niçoise

Rinse the capers well in several changes of water, chop and set aside. Chop the olives and set aside. Rinse the parsley and mint and dry.

Make the dressing by placing the vinegar in a bowl, season and whisk in the olive oil. To serve, place the parsley and mint in a bowl, scatter over the olives and capers, pour over the dressing and toss.
