How to use this list
Start by reviewing the ingredient list and checking your pantry for any items you already have.

Common mistakes
People often forget to pit olives or buy pre-pitted ones, which can slow down prep. Skipping fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary changes the tapenade’s flavor, so don’t substitute dried versions unless necessary. Avoid over-processing the mixture; you want a coarse texture, not a paste. Don’t forget to zest the lemon before juicing. Using stale bread or crackers can undercut the appetizer’s appeal.
What is on this list
You’ll need pitted black olives, capers, garlic cloves, fresh parsley, rosemary, lemon zest, and lemon juice for the tapenade itself. Extra-virgin olive oil and black pepper round out the flavor. For serving, include a sourdough baguette and water crackers. Cross off anything you already own, especially pantry items like olive oil or black pepper.
Before you go
Double-check your kitchen for items like olive oil, black pepper, and capers before shopping. Buy bread and crackers as close to serving time as possible for freshness. If making ahead, store the tapenade in the fridge, but bring it to room temperature before serving. Slice the baguette and arrange crackers just before guests arrive.
