Ingredients
- One 20-ounce jar Delizia Lemon-Stuffed Olives, drained
- 2 teaspoons brined capers, drained
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
- 1/4 cup Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions
- Place the drained olives, capers, garlic, dill, and champagne vinegar in a food processor.
- Add the olive oil.
- Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste or reaches your preferred consistency. Avoid overprocessing if you would like the tapenade to retain some texture.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
Why the Olive Oil Works
Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil brings the ingredients together while adding freshness, richness, and a smooth finish that balances the salty olives, bright lemon, and briny capers.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the tapenade with:
- Crackers, pita wedges, or grilled baguette
- Grilled fish or chicken
- A cheese or charcuterie board
- Sandwiches and wraps
- Roasted vegetables
- Crostini topped with goat cheese or feta
Make It Ahead
Prepare the tapenade several hours before serving to give the flavors time to blend. Keep it covered and refrigerated, then allow it to sit at room temperature briefly before serving.
