SIMPLE GREEN OLIVE TAPENADE



Simple Green Olive Tapenade image

From Andrew Schloss' Cooking with Three Ingredients: "Tapenade, the rich olive sauce of Provence, is usually made from ripe black olives. This rendition gives tradition a tweak by substituting leaner, saltier green olives. It is just the right spread on toasts to serve with drinks, but is equally good served as a cold sauce for grilled chicken or fish, or as a dip for vegetables."
