Buffalo chickpea pizza, anyone? She's also been known to eat a plain block of tofu or beans straight out of the can for lunch, but somehow those culinary adventures don't make it to her Instagram.

If you’ve run through your backlog of creative salsa recipes and mastered the art of hummus, tapenade is the spread you need in your life. It has the same brininess you love in other olive recipes, but it’s mixed with savory ingredients like garlic, herbs, and anchovies, to deepen the flavor even further. Tapenade is just as delicious as even the gooiest skillet dips, but its bright flavor profile means it can be paired with everything from crackers to fish. These 14 tapenade recipes will win you over after just one bite.
