Place the tomatoes, olives, garlic, and parsley in a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until the ingredients are coarsely chopped. With the machine running, pour the oil through the feeder tube in a thin stream. Process until the ingredients form a slightly coarse paste. Scrape the pesto into a small bowl. Add the salt. (If the olives are salty, you may need very little salt.)
