  • Don't over-process the ingredients: A little texture is a good thing in tapenade, so don't over-process the ingredients in your food processor. Pulse them just until they are finely chopped, but not pureed.
  • Season to taste: The amount of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs you add to your tapenade will depend on your personal preference. Taste the tapenade as you make it and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Let the flavors meld: Tapenade tastes best when it has had a chance for the flavors to meld together. Make it a day ahead of time, if possible, or let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
