Greek Olive Tapenade
By: Eleni Saltas
Chunky texture with robust flavor, mixed Greek olive spread is the perfect dip to keep on hand. The only con about this dish is that I never make enough of it. Spread on sandwiches or serve with your favorite cracker type, vegetable, or bread.

Meze/Appetizer
Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 ounces) pitted Kalamata olives
- ¼ cup (2 ounces) pitted green olives*
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 basil leaves, lightly chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Drain the olives and finely chop into consistent small pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the olives, garlics, basil, and oregano. Mix well. (You can also pulse all your ingredients in a food processor, but I have found chopping by hand works best and creates a better texture.)
Step 2
Stir in olive oil and red wine vinegar and serve.
Notes
For an extra bite and color, use pimento stuffed olives.
