Black and Green Olive Tapenade
The easiest mixed olive tapenade, made with a handful of ingredients in a blender, and making for a great olive dip to spread on bread. Easy and so fun to eat!

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup black olives, seedless or pitted
- 1/2 cup green olives, seedless or pitted
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender.
- Pulse until combined, and broken up into a chunky paste. Check the consistency, if you think it's too thick, drizzle in a little extra olive oil and pulse until smooth and the texture you like.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to serve, and serve with crusty bread and olive oil on the side.

Notes
- Use good quality olives and olive oil, because that's where all the flavor comes from! Make sure to use pitted olives.
- You can use a mix of green and black olives, all green, or all black.
- You can leave out any herbs you want, or add any you like. This is very customizable!
- If the tapenade is too thick add another drizzle or two of olive oil while the food processor is running until you get the pasty consistency you want.
- Storing Leftovers: leftover tapenade will last in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in a tightly covered jar. I prefer adding a thin layer of olive oil to the top to make sure it doesn't get exposed to air.
