I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tapenade turned out really bitter. I think I might have used the wrong type of olives.

I found this tapenade to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and lemon juice and it was much better.

This tapenade is a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try draining the olives next time.
