Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Olive Tapenade (5 Minutes!)
Report
Simple, fresh, and flavorful olive tapenade made with just 6 ingredients. Perfect as a tangy dip, savory pairing for hummus, or sandwich spread!
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups pitted, drained olives (we love Kalamata and green olives)
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)*
- 1/3 cup tightly packed fresh basil
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp lemon juice (1 lemon yields ~3 Tbsp or 45 ml)
FOR SERVING optional
- hummus
- Pita chips / crackers (ensure gluten-free for GF eaters)
Instructions
- Add olives, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, olive oil (starting with lesser amount), and lemon juice to a food processor and mix/pulse to achieve a dip with some texture. Scrape down sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more sun-dried tomatoes for tomato flavor, basil for fresh herb flavor, lemon juice for acidity, olive oil to thin, or garlic for bite. Optional: Add a pinch of salt and pepper, though we didn’t find it needed it.
- Serve immediately. This makes a great dip on its own or for pairing/layering with hummus. We also love it as a sandwich spread on a veggie sandwich like the Trashy Vegan Sandwich from our Everyday Cooking Cookbook, or our Chickpea Sunflower Sandwich.
- Store in the refrigerator up to 7-10 days. Freeze for long-term storage, though best when fresh.
Notes
- *If using sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, start with a smaller amount and omit olive oil from recipe. *Recipe as originally written makes ~1 ½ cups. *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with the lesser amount of olive oil.
