Cup of Yum
Notes
- Add 2 garlic cloves if you're feeling those raw garlic vibes and/or have some mints on your person to tame the garlic breath after eating.
- I prefer a slightly chunky tapenade, but if you prefer a finer tapenade, feel free to add a little more extra virgin olive oil and pulse a few more times
