About

We’ve made a less salty tapenade by eliminating the intense flavor of anchovies. Serve on toasted crostini alongside summer ripe tomatoes or mix with a bit of Light Lemon Mayonnaise and spread over thin slices of cold roasted veal.

Combine the olives, garlic, and capers in a food processor, and process to form a paste. With the motor still running, slowly add the olive oil through the feed tube and blend thoroughly. Then add the tuna and lemon juice, and continue processing until smooth.
