SUNDRIED TOMATO TAPENADE



Sundried Tomato Tapenade image

A to-die-for take on the usual olive tapenade. Don't use California sundried tomatoes because they are too sweet! Every time I make this I get requests for the recipe! I've never actually had the patience to chill this and always end up serving it right away. It's a huge hit! Serve with your favorite crackers.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND KALAMATA OLIVE TAPENADE



Sun-Dried Tomato and Kalamata Olive Tapenade image

Recipe From Oxmoor House. Note: Ready-to-Use Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Be sure to buy ready-to-use sun-dried tomatoes packed without oil for this savory spread. Because they've undergone a special process that adds back moisture, there's no need to reconstitute them, and they don't have the high fat of dried tomatoes packed in oil. Like all sun-dried tomatoes, this convenient product is high in vitamin A and is a good source of potassium.
