When I cook, I try to cook things using ingredients I have on hand. Especially now that I am living by myself, I like to re-purpose leftovers. You can only eat the same thing for so many days before you get sick of it! I had 1 chicken breast and needed a way to make it into a meal. So the Mediterranean sandy was born.
My original plan was to use hummus, however mine was not looking so hot. I needed something to serve as the "sauce." I wanted to make an olive tapenade. All of the recipes I was finding had capers and anchovies, which are not my favorite! So I made up my own!

| Green Olive Tapenade sans Capers and Anchovies |
1 cup green olives, chopped
1 T fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
olive oil
salt
pepper
Directions:
Squeeze fresh lemon over olives (squeeze it upside down to prevent seeds from falling in!).
Drizzle olive oil over the olives, and add salt and pepper for flavor. For best results, let sit for an hour or so to let flavors meld.
