Olive tapenade is a flavorful spread originating from Mediterranean cuisine, particularly popular in French and Greek cooking. Traditionally made with finely chopped or blended black or green olives, capers, olive oil, garlic, and often lemon juice or anchovies, this savory dish boasts a rich, briny taste. Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from olives and olive oil, tapenade offers benefits for cholesterol management and overall cardiovascular health. The capers contribute antioxidants, while the garlic can provide anti-inflammatory properties. However, its high sodium content due to olives and capers should be noted for those monitoring salt intake. Olive tapenade is versatile, often served as a dip, added to sandwiches, or used to enhance roasted vegetables and proteins. Its bold flavor and nutritional profile make it a popular choice in balanced Mediterranean diets.
