You can use the tapenade recipe on the Dr. Gourmet web site or purchase some bottled in the grocery. If you are going to buy prepared tapenade, check the label - they have widely variable amounts of salt and the recipe can end up tasting very salty. Look for tapenade with about 350 mg of sodium per tablespoon.
