"This is a simple, versatile tapenade. It is best on warm focaccia or toasted slices of baguette, spread in a very thin layer. It is also terrific on sandwiches. Spread it on the inside of the bread before you make a grilled cheese (best w/cheddar) or a fresh mozzarella and tomato sandwich. It's also a good dip for baby carrots or just about anything..."

"Know how at some Italian restaurants they give you the option of both butter and a dish with herbed olive when they bring out the bread? I found that I actually prefer the olive oil dip to butter in terms of both taste and ease to use; I don't have to wait for olive oil to melt! Plus, olive oil is monounsaturated fat that's better for you while..."
