Pretty good, and very easy to make. One of the varieties of olives I used was stuffed with blue cheese, and I think that was a very good addition.

I recommend adding shaved parmesan to the recipe. Makes it look better in appearance and tasted great. It disappeared in no time!

This is SOOOO yummy! I was trying to emulate an olive spread we would get at a deli near where we used to live. This is a near perfect match! I only used 1 tablespoon of the balsamic because I didn't want it to be too sweet -- I like the saltiness! I am interested to try it with the required amount of balsamic though -- perhaps next time. For serving, I toasted some baguette slices, spread a layer of homemade Garlic Spread (recipe on this site by CKBK), and then topped with the olive mixture. It was an AMAZING appetizer!!! Will make again. Very pretty too.

This is a delicious spread, for the serious olive lover...I used garlic-stuffed green olives and didn't add extra garlic cloves. I will probably make 1/2 recipe next time - it does make a lot. NOT the prettiest appetizer, so throw a few sprigs of parsley on top!

Try spreading softened cream cheese on the bottom of a dish and top with the olive spread - yummy! Helps cut the saltiness of the olives.

This was delicious! I added chopped roma tomatoes to mine. That cuts down on the saltiness and it looks prettier too! I also used a chopped instead of a food processor for bigger chuncks!

I love tapenade, and am not a big anchovy fan, so this was PERFECT! Guests ate it up at a recent party. I used a chopper instead of a food processor, and the ingrediants were a bit hard to manuever in the confined space of the chopper. If you need to use one, I would suggest doing half at a time, then just mixing them together in the dish you serve the spread in. Also, I suggest leaving a spoon in the spread as the oil tended to separate from the mixture. But still was delish!

This is really great on little toasted baguette rounds! If your supermarket has an olive bar you can get a good mix. Try adding a little feta cheese to the mixture! The "Magic Bullet" (as seen on TV) is perfect for this.

My wife and I had olive spread with our dinner at the restaurant "Olives" at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. This recipe is very similar to their, except they didn't combine all three types of olives. I've only made this once, but it tastes great! If you like olives, definitely try this recipe.

This is a great starter recipe. I found it a little sour/vinegar tasting, so I blended in some cream cheese and it was great!

I enjoyed this spread. If you are an olive fan, you will too! It is a bit salty but that is to be expected with it being 99% olives. I think it would be interesting to try adding some grated cheese to it and maybe not chopping it so finely, leaving it a little chunkier. It makes a good amount so cut the recipe in 1/2 for a smaller gathering. Thanks!

It's simple: if you like olives, you'll like this. I diced the olives before putting them in the blender, which made it easier. To cut calories and add flavor, I added the water the olives were packed in instead of olive oil. This turned out perfectly. I liked it best on crackers with a hint of onion.
