I'm not usually a fan of tapenade, but this one is really good. The flavors are well-balanced and it's not too salty.

This tapenade is a great way to use up leftover dates. I always have a few dates left over from making other dishes, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I love the combination of flavors in this tapenade. The sweetness of the dates and the smokiness of the paprika go so well together.
