Very tasty...and by the speed my guests have eaten it, popular! I have made it twice, and both times I have stuck to the recipe, almost exact...but I do believe in any recipe, salt to taste towards the end. Any cook should know that though, especially when making a dressing, spread, or dip. Flavors develop after chilling for a couple hours, so I usually salt after the chilling period, after the ingredients have mingled. Each ingredient is important, and wouldn't leave any single item out. This "nosh" goes great with cocktails for a casual get together. The acidity from the lemon and salt from the olives and capers complements almost any basic cocktail. This tapenade becomes addictive if the cocktails you are serving are sweet!

I followed the recipe exactly. It was so salty that we couldn't stand it. We ended up throwing it all away. What a waste! Next time, I won't add any salt or only add salt to taste.

Over all it is quite good. A little bit too lemony, even though I left out capers. I would reduce 3 tbs lemon juice to 1 next time, and add in capers.

I prepared this last night for a cocktail party I was hosting and they were a hit. Not a single left over. Definitely a keeper!

This was very delicious & used up a lot of extra ingredients I had in my fridge. Served with ritz crackers as an easy lunch. I used tuna in water from the can & it was just as good. Next time I will cut back on the lemon juice just a tad.

This was very delicious! A whole bunch of favors in one bite. The only thing I would do different is not to add any salt. There is plenty of salt in the tuna,capers and olives that it becomes too salty if you add. Fresh black pepper is all you need. Definitely a keeper recipe

I Love Ina Garten. She is my favorite chef. I rate this receipe a four and half stars. I read the reviews and made the receipe. The only thing I changed was instead of 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, I used 2. And I omitted the salt, because the other ingredients have enough salt in them. My husband loved this. I will make this again.

Ina did it again! This is so so so good that I licked everything off my blender (yes I made it in a blender because I have a little food processor. I don't like parsley, so left that. I also added a bit more olives because I had a bit extra and it taste a bit more olive-y. I didn't need to add any salt. The lemon part is my favorite. I love how refreshing this tastes!
