Savory olives are full of monounsaturated, heart-healthy fat. The addition of roasted red peppers gives this tapenade a sweet contrast and improves the color of the dip.
Serve it with warm pita bread or spread on a cracker. Then, toss any leftover tapenade in whole-wheat pasta with tomatoes and cooked chicken. You won’t be disappointed!
