SUNDRIED TOMATO TAPENADE

Sundried Tomato Tapenade image

A to-die-for take on the usual olive tapenade. Don't use California sundried tomatoes because they are too sweet! Every time I make this I get requests for the recipe! I've never actually had the patience to chill this and always end up serving it right away. It's a huge hit! Serve with your favorite crackers.

CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH (VARIATION NO 5)

Cream Cheese Sandwich (Variation No 5) image

Cream Cheese, Tapenade and Salad. When you need an idea of the nutritional values and they're not to hand, it's easy to overlook some of life's simple pleasures in the uncertainty, so it's good to have the info from recipezaar. Some of the 'variations on a theme' sandwiches are based '60 sandwich ideas' found on vegan-cookbook website, the others are combinations that I have found to be successful myself. I use dairy products, but there are vegan substitutes available.

I LOVE OLIVES AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

I Love Olives and Cream Cheese Spread image

What's not to love? This is an easy make-ahead appetizer that takes 15 minutes to prepare and is so yummy it will be gone 15 minutes after you set it on the table. Pitted black olives and pimiento-stuffed Spanish/Manzanilla olives make it look as colorful as it is delicious. Serve it with crackers or crispinis. I also use it as a sandwich spread...it really spruces up a plain old cold-cut or deli sandwich.
