Black Olive Pesto Bruschetta

If you like black olives, you’ll love this recipe!  Black olive tapenade is one of my very favorite things, ever.  This recipe is a bit different, the ricotta cheese adds a little tang and the olive on top makes it kind of pretty!   I would suggest making a plate of these and opening a bottle of rose’ tonight and calling it dinner.  It’s the weekend!  Why not?
