Tapenade… “tah-pen-ahde”. It’s fun to say! But it’s way more fun to eat when it’s this black olive version!
There are so many pedestrian dips and spreads. This tapenade shakes up the norm. I don’t know why, but it strikes me as a vegetarian version of caviar! It’s the texture I think. Certainly the flavor is very different but it can be used exactly the same. It’s a gorgeous topping not only for crackers and such, but on chicken and whatever protein strikes your fancy, in a salad… yeah!
I just love something delicious that is almost no effort to make. The fridge does most of the work! I love that. Give it a try and get ready for the reflexive “mmmmmm”!
Enjoy!
