Cream Cheese Olive Tapenade Spread
Need a super simple party food that can be made in a snap and will make your guest begging for more? Try our Cream Cheese Olive Tapenade Spread. It is fantastic! With three simple ingredients, you will be amazed at the savory salty flavors of the olives and how they compliment the cool cream cheese. This is the perfect appetizer for summer BBQ’s, gatherings, and celebrations.
The Cream Cheese Olive Tapenade Spread pairs with crisp rosemary crackers, vegetable crudites. I used bell pepper strips in red, yellow, and orange and it truly complimented the colors in the tapenade.
For best results, keep cream cheese chilled, put the recipe together 15 minutes before serving to keep the shape of the cream cheese block. Use your favorite olive tapenade. I chose a chunky mix but gave it a sparse chop so it was spread easily on the cracker.
