Green Olive Tapenade on English Muffiin $3.93

Olives have always been for me a guilt free fat food. I know they are fattening, but I also know how healthy they are. 1 cup of green olives contain 4.44 mg of Iron which is 24.7% of DV. Iron helps to enhance oxegen distribution in your body, aids your body in energy production and helps keep immune system healthy. They are also high in vitamin E and Fiber. I can eat them alone, or mix them in my tuna or salmon salad, I love them in pasta and I also love them as a sandwhich spread or simply on crackers.
This tapenade is great served as a dip for crackers, or toasted on bread as I did in this recipe, I added some cheese to give the meal some protein and calcium.
