DESCRIPTION

This tapenade recipe is quick to make and so salty and delicious. It’s made with kalamatas, lots of garlic, capers, parsley, and lemon. Note that I use 2 cloves of garlic but you can try it with just 1 clove and taste it, then add in another minced clove if you want that extra garlic heat.

Yield: 1 and 1/4 cups
