Classic Olive Tapenade Recipe

For a true taste of provence, this classic tapenade recipe, a mildly seasoned olive spread, is the easiest and most versatile dish to make. It takes only five minutes to make and is traditionally served on baguette slices or with crudits. Beyond the bread and vegetables serving suggestions, it's luscious when baked with chicken, layered into tartines, and tossed with fresh, hot pasta, like angel hair. This tapenade recipe makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of olive spread.
