Description

Olive tapenade is a delicious, flavorful, easy dip that comes together in minutes, made with the perfect combination of sharp, tangy, salty, and savory.


Ingredients

  • 1 + 1/2 cups kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, add olives, parsley, capers, anchovy paste, lemon juice, and garlic. Pulse mix 3-4 times until coarsely chopped.
  2. Drizzle in olive oil and pulse a few more times until desired consistency is achieved, scraping down the sides in between as needed. The texture should be chunky bits, similar in size to minced garlic.
