Olive Tapenade

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

When you need a quick and easy app this is the one to make!  I love combining castelvetrano, Niçoise, kalamata and picholine, but use whatever olive combo you like best.  Buy them already pitted to you some time!  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.  You can literally make this in 10 minutes or less, so consider this a sign to go buy some olives and make tapenade tonight!
