Olive Garlic Tapenade

   Olive Garlic Tapenade

  Enjoying this quarantine? I have been using this time to create various dips and recipes from frozen or canned/jarred items.  Olives are one of those foods you can get easily in a jar or a can. Tapenade goes great with crackers or focaccia bread. You can use fresh or jarred garlic, and fresh or dried parsley.  It is easy and delicious! Serve on a Mezza plate with hummus and other appetizers like nuts/cheese.

Tip: Grow your own herbs in the backyard to save money at the grocery store. Grab what you need!

Healthy tip:  Olives contain Omega-9 healthy fats, great for your heart, skin, eyes, hair, and brain.
