Tapenade is a French condiment, traditionally made with olives, capers, and olive oil. My version, of Olive Tapenade it salty, a little garlicky, and pairs well with tomatoes. Always on my Bruschetta platter!

I love appetizers and party food! If you want a delicious platter that your friends will really enjoy, whip up a batch Olive Tapenade, pop some Crostini in the oven, and prepare some Whipped Feta Spread. Throw some tomatoes and basil on the platter with all that. The guests can serve themselves, and they will love it!
