Easy Olive Tapenade (5 Minute Appetizer!)

A white bowl brimming with dark purple olive tapenade rests on a wooden serving board. In the background, slices of bread await, with a second bowl of the rich tapenade blurred in the distance. The surface is a soft light gray, complementing the rustic spread.
