    Olive Tapenade

    This super flavorful Olive Tapenade is an olive lover’s delight! Fresh herbs and a touch of lemon juice add a bright and addictive flavor.

    This Olive Tapenade was such a hit at our family get-together over the weekend. The olive lovers spoke and gave this recipe a thumbs up!

    Since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved olives. When I was in high school, many moons ago, one of my favorite snacks was green olives and saltine crackers.

    I used to stay up late with my night-hawk mom, and watch the Johnny Carson Show and eat crackers and olives. Crazy right?  Luckily, I’ve slowed down on that and don’t do it anymore – salt overload for sure!

    So, now that I have my own kids, guess what? They all love olives too and they probably would do what I did, on occasion! Guess it’s in the genes or something.

    I’m always amazed when people don’t like olives and I’ve lived around some of those olive haters. I guess olives are some of those things you either love or hate. Not everyone is like me and my family!

    So, if you happen to be an olive lover…
