Garlic Spread With Olive Tapenade - cooking recipe

Ingredients

GARLIC SPREAD
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons parsley
2 tablespoons white onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves
OLIVE TAPENADE
2 garlic cloves
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained
3/4 cup kalamata olive, pitted
3/4 cup pimento-stuffed green olives
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil

Preparation

GARLIC SPREAD:
Add all ingredients into a food processor.
Process until smooth.
Remove to a medium bowl or spread generously on toasted baguette slices.
Wipe the work bowl and blade clean.
OLIVE TAPENADE:
Add the garlic and the black and kalamata olives to the work bowl.
Pulse a couple of times until minced.
Add the green olives and pulse a couple of times, leaving larger chunks of the green olives (for aesthetics).
Remove to a medium bowl and stir in the vinegar and olive oil. (Additional balsamic can be added to cut the saltiness, if desired; keep in mind that the garlic spread will also help cut the salty flavor.).
Spread a layer of tapenade over the garlic spread.
