Notes
- Chunkier Tapenade: For a chunkier texture, finely chop the ingredients by hand instead of using a food processor. If you prefer it smoother, give it a quick pulse in the food processor, but avoid over-blending.
- Adjust to taste: Add more lemon juice for brightness or extra olive oil for a richer, silkier consistency. Feel free to taste and tweak until it’s perfect.
- Garnish for a finishing touch: A sprinkle of extra parsley or a few lemon zest curls on top before serving adds a fresh, appetizing look.
- Serve with variety: Offer it with an assortment of crackers, crusty bread, or even fresh veggies to accommodate different preferences.
- Experiment with herbs: If you’re a fan of herbs, try adding fresh basil or thyme along with the parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
