This was one of my first recipes as a vegan back in 2017. It changed my my mind completely! I thought wow the vegan diet is more delicious by far thanks to this recipe! I remember you had the salad recipe, it is even mentioned in your video... Could you please upload the salad tapenade recipe again? Thank you very much this channel helped me transition to a vegan diet and to a better life overall

Hey Viviana, aw thank you for the kind words and for allowing PUL to be part of your journey! We didn't feel the salad tapenade recipe was the best version it could be, but we have noted down the request to re-post it. In the meantime, feel free to email us at [email protected] and we can send a copy of the original recipe there 🤗

What a lovely tapenade, so versatile and creamy! I’ve had it as a condiment for mushroom/chèvre burgers as well as a spread on rye crackers for afternoon fika. This recipe is very useful 👍🏼
I make it easier for myself by using a food processor and I prefer the resulting creamy texture.

Mmm sounds so tasty, Louise, thank you for sharing! So happy the tapenade was enjoyed 😃

This recipe is amazing! Sometimes I serve it with Hummus over sliced baguette for my guests. They absolutely loved it.

I can't spell how amazing this is! 🤤 I used it in a stewed mushroom and tofu sandwich.

Oh, so lovely to hear, Cris! A wonderful idea to add it to the sandwich as well ✨
