If you can open a jar and work a food processor, you can make this Artichoke and Pepper Tapenade. It’s easy, delicious, and will take your appetizer game to the next level.
Although the Artichoke and Pepper Tapenade tastes good on a cracker, slice of bread, or cucumber slice, it also would be delicious with cheese. Try melting a slice of cheese on a brie on a slice of a French baguette until it softens and topping it with the tapenade. Make it an entire platter with a egg salad crostini.
