Macadamia Free Garlic-Herb Olive Tapenade

Briny, herbaceous, and deeply savory, this garlic-herb olive tapenade is the kind of condiment that makes everything it touches taste more interesting. Two varieties of olives — buttery Castelvetrano and bold Kalamata — come together with fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, and lemon zest for a spread that feels genuinely restaurant-worthy. A splash of apple cider vinegar lifts all those rich, salty flavors and keeps the whole thing tasting bright rather than heavy. The food processor does most of the work in under a minute, and you're left with a beautifully textured, rustic spread that's nothing like the jarred stuff. Spoon it over grilled bread, tuck it alongside roasted vegetables, or use it as a bold sandwich layer — it's endlessly versatile. Every ingredient here is straightforward and nut-free by nature, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about cross-contact from specialty nut oils sneaking into the mix. Tear in a few fresh basil leaves at the end if you have them, and this simple little recipe becomes something you'll want to keep in your fridge at all times.
