Green Olive and Almond Tapenade

This vibrant green olive and almond tapenade is a sophisticated addition to any mezze platter or starter course. The combination of salty brine-cured olives, fresh parsley and zesty lemon creates a bright, punchy flavour that is beautifully balanced by the earthy crunch of toasted almonds. Unlike traditional versions that rely heavily on capers or anchovies, this recipe uses nuts to provide a satisfying texture and a boost of healthy fats.

As a heart-healthy snack, this versatile plant-based dip is incredibly simple to prepare in just a few minutes using a food processor. It works perfectly as a nutritious afternoon snack when served with crunchy carrot sticks, or as an elegant appetiser alongside toasted pitta wedges. For a light lunch, try spreading it onto sourdough toast topped with sliced tomatoes or use it as a savoury crust for roasted fish.
