Olive Tapenade
Report
This incredible dairy free spread bursts with savory, briny, and bright flavor in just five minutes and two simple steps. Make as an easy appetizer, or keep on hand as your new favorite condiment. The anchovy filets melt into the spread for an umami-rich punch—and don’t taste at all fishy, I promise! But if you’d like to make this vegan, feel free to leave them out.
