Olive Tapenade
by Chef Owen May and Dr. Michelle May
Olive Tepenade is a rich, flavorful yet easy appetizer or spread for sandwiches. You can experiment with whatever olives you have on hand so you always have a great appetizer or snack at the last minute!
Chef Notes
Easy way to peel a clove of garlic; lay the flat side of a knife on the clove and smash it with your fist. The paper covering will peel off easily.
Health Notes
Olives are rich in omega 3 fatty acids so olive tepenade makes a great spread or appetizer. It is high in salt so use in moderation.
