Tapenade (tapəˈnad) is puréed or finely-chopped Olives (most commonly Black Olives), Capers and Olive Oil. Tapenade is often enjoyed as spread on bread in southern France. I add Garlic and Anchovies as well. This paste is amazingly good with crusty bread but also wonderful for salad. Just think about its ingredients. It cannot to bad. Mix the paste with tomatoes and some chopped red onion will make a heavenly salad. Add some lemon juice to make a yummy dip. This is a wonder paste!
