Fig & Olive Tapenade

~ Wanda ~

I was organizing all my photos and discovered I had pics for this and never made a post….I don’t really have much of a story to go with it though. I made it awhile back when figs were in season. I love Olive Tapenade and I didn’t think there could be anything better but let me tell you, Fig and Olive Tapenade is now my favorite!! It is a wonerful appetizer unless you are like me I ate it with a half a loaf of bread and called it dinner!
