One of my favorite appetizers is great rustic loaf of bread with tapenade, cheese, imported meats and grapes. Well, and a nice glass of wine goes well with it. I can easily make this combination it into a meal. It must be the Greek in me . . . my Mom would say the very same thing! In Europe they actually do and that is one reason they stay so thin . . . their portion sizes is way smaller than we are accustomed too here in the USA. Anyway back to great food . . . this is healthy when you eat it in moderation. The tapenade is the perfect combination of herbs and the lemon truly enhance the flavors. Served on a slice of rustic bread it is perfect as an appetizer, snack or as a meal itself. Let me know your thoughts.
Bon Appetit,
Cecelia
