They serve this dip at the more elite Italian restaurants and I think I have finally mastered it! It tastes great with French bread and makes a good salad dressing too! Try it next time you have some Italian food!

2-SECOND ITALIAN BREAD OLIVE OIL DIP

2-Second Italian Bread Olive Oil Dip image

Know how at some Italian restaurants they give you the option of both butter and a dish with herbed olive when they bring out the bread? I found that I actually prefer the olive oil dip to butter in terms of both taste and ease to use; I don't have to wait for olive oil to melt! Plus, olive oil is monounsaturated fat that's better for you while butter is saturated fat that isn't. I use Recipe #391627, feel free to use another mix or storebought seasoning-- tastes just like the kind in restaurants to enjoy with focaccia or crusty Italian bread.

This bread dip is like Carrabba's. As for the recipe, just think of it as a teaspoon of every spice in your pantry, plus fresh garlic. Best with a loaf of fresh bread. My husband makes this all the time.
