olive tapenade recipe

Hands down, the best green olive tapenade you will ever make! Blend green olives with capers, anchovies, fresh herbs, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor. The whole thing takes 5 minutes or less! We love serving this on toasted baguette, but alongside crudité and crackers would be amazing too! An irresistible starter to any meal.

Amazing! Super easy and super flavorful. I used Castelvetrano olives as that is what I had on hand. I make this once a week and we put it on salads, accompaniment for charcuterie board, or sometimes I just walk by the fridge and eat a spoonful of it. It’s SO good! Thank you, I am so happy I stumbled upon this recipe!
