OLIVE OIL AND BALSAMIC BREAD DIP

Steps:

• NOTE: Play around a little bit with the olive oil/balsamic vinegar proportions. There should however always be more olive oil than vinegar.
• Slice up bread into appetizer sizes and place on a platter.
• In a pretty shallow bowl or plate, pour the olive oil then drizzle the balsamic vinegar around and across the pool of olive oil.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
• Take a piece of the bread and lightly dunk into the mixture. Take a bite!
• Now the Roman gods are happy and you should be, too!
