Simple Green Olive Tapenade
"From Andrew Schloss' Cooking with Three Ingredients: "Tapenade, the rich olive sauce of Provence, is usually made from ripe black olives. This rendition gives tradition a tweak by substituting leaner, saltier green olives. It is just the right spread on toasts to serve with drinks, but is equally good served as a cold sauce for grilled chicken or fish, or as a dip for vegetables.""

I'm a slightly "over-50" guy living with my wife and 2 kids in Columbus Ohio. I have been a picky eater for as long as I can remember. I'm trying to improve my cooking skills more or less in self defense. It's a control thing ... if I make it and I don't like it, I can whine and complain to myself :-)! Since cooking is not my wife's favorite activity, I'm looking for recipes I can enjoy preparing and eating while lightening her load a bit. Hopefully a win-win situation.
