Ingredients
2-3 roasted red peppers, water
packed, drained and diced (these can
be found packed in a jar in the grocery

1 red onion, finely diced (more or less,
depending on your taste)
½ of 14.5 oz. can Muir Glen fire
roasted tomatoes, crushed*
½ bunch of arugula, finely chopped
Arugula Tapenade
Tapenade is an olive-based spread
common in Mediterranean cuisine.
The most traditional recipe involves
only a few ingredients, including black
olives, capers, olive oil, and anchovies
that are mashed together into a thick
paste. That paste can then be spread
on toast, used to flavor meats, or
eaten as a dip. The dish dates back to
Roman times, but is popular all over
the world today, and comes in many
different variations.
Arugula tapenade is a very different
version of the typical recipe. Adding
arugula, peppers, and vinegar while
decreasing the amount of olive oil
used helps to decrease calories per
serving. This is absolutely delicious
and will soon become your signature
dish. Serve it as an appetizer or ladled
over chicken or fish.
1 cup pitted kalamata olives, drained
and finely chopped
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Fresh cracked black pepper (to desired
taste)
½ tsp sugar (if desired)
Directions
Mix all the above ingredients well in a
bowl, cover and chill in refrigerator for
at least 2 hours. Serve with crostini or
your favorite bread broken into pieces.
This tapanade is fabulous ladled over
grilled or baked fish or added to your
favorite pasta sauce.
