Black Olive and Sun-dried Tomato Tapenade
May 11, 2020 • Appetizers, Condiments,
I opened a can of black olives to decorate the artistic focaccia bread I made recently, and since I don’t love black olives on their own, I wanted to do something with the leftovers from the can instead of just throwing them out. This simple tapenade comes together in a minute and can be frozen for use at your next party (which for me will be as soon as the COVID-19 situation is no longer a threat).
