Sun-Dried Tomato & Olive Spread

This spread is the perfect complement for Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches. You can find tapenade (black olive paste) in most supermarkets and in specialty food stores.

• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (reconstituted in water and drained before chopping, if necessary)
• 3 Tbs. tapenade
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
• 1 scallion, minced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a food processor, mince the garlic. Add the tomatoes and olive paste and purée. Add the olive oil and vinegar and pulse to incorporate. Add the scallion, salt, and pepper; pulse until just combined.
