Two Olive Dip Recipes

We enjoy this (really, really) Easy Green Olive Dip Recipe as well as the rich and sophisticated Black Olive Tapenade. They go along well with the Shabbos salads and appetizers and make delicious spreads on challah.

Make extra because these recipes both are great to have on hand for weekday cooking. See olive dips in planned over recipes for delicious ideas to keep under your crown.
