If you love olives, this recipe has your name written all over it. My husband and I love to entertain and anytime I can make some appetizers ahead of time – I’m a happier hostess. This tapenade is also wonderful on a muffuletta if you have leftovers. Serve with some toasted baguette slices or Melba toast. Pair it up with your favorite glass of wine and sit back and enjoy.
