This tapenade is the perfect make-ahead appetizer. I always have a jar in my fridge for unexpected guests.

I didn't have any fresh herbs on hand, so I used dried herbs instead. It still turned out delicious.

I'm not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans in this recipe. It turned out great!

This tapenade is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tapenade turned out too salty. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I love this tapenade! It's so versatile. I've used it as a sandwich spread, a dip for vegetables, and even a marinade for chicken.

I've made this tapenade several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover nuts and herbs.

This tapenade was a hit at my last party! I served it with crostini and vegetables, and everyone loved it. The combination of walnuts, citrus, and herbs was perfect.
