Olive Tapenade

When you need a quick and easy app this is the one to make! ย I love combining castelvetrano, Niรงoise, kalamata and picholine, but use whatever olive combo you like best. ย Buy them already pitted to you some time! ย This traditional recipe combines olives, capers, basil plus another secret ingredient to make a quick flavorful tapenade.

Serve it with fish, grilled chicken or spread slices of toasted baguette with goat cheese and top with tapenade. ย You can literally make this in 10 minutes or less, so consider this a sign to go buy some olives and make tapenade tonight!
