Olive Tapenade Recipe is a wonderfully flavorful spread that can be used on sandwiches to enrich every bite. This recipe is versatile and you can use it as a dip with crudités or your favorite slice of baguette. This is my first time making this yummy olive spread. I knew the basic ingredients and wanted it to be simple. My love for the salty olive and the briny capers is such a perfect combination.
The ingredients are staples that you can find in your pantry as well as the vegetable crisper in your fridge.

Olive Tapenade Recipe
Salty and Briny Yumminess!
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 cup Trader Joe's Giant Chalkidiki Olives, Pitted
- 1/2 cup
Trader Joe's Pitted Kalamata Olives - 1 tablespoon Nonpareille Capers, drained
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Organize all ingredients and pit any olives that need pitting. My GIANT olives did, so the best way is I used the side of a large knife to smoosh the olives to remove the pit.
- Add all ingredients to the food processor using the blade.
- Pulse the ingrediants, a few seconds at a time. So the olives are course…I over pulsed on my first try.
- Now put in air tight container to save so you can save extras for later.
- Serve on your favorite cracker, piece of bread or make that glorious sandwich with the spread.
