NOTES & TIPS
Tapenade, like most spreads, is very versatile; you can use it as a spread on focaccia bread, a topping for crackers and crostini, a sandwich spread, or as a topping for fish. I chose to use tapenade as a bagel spread, which makes for a delicious breakfast bagel or snack.Tapenade keeps well in the refrigerator, so you can make a big batch on Sunday and have plenty left over to enhance your meals throughout the week.
