Irresistible Olive Oil Bread Dip

For Serving:

• Freshly baked bread, such as ciabatta, focaccia, or baguette
• Vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, etc., for a gluten-free option)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Select High-Quality Olive Oil

• Begin with the star ingredient: extra virgin olive oil. Opt for a robust, fruity variety to provide a rich base for the dip.

2. Prepare the Seasoning Blend

• In a small bowl, combine the oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

3. Infuse the Olive Oil

• Place the olive oil in a shallow serving dish or bowl. Add the minced garlic, stirring gently to infuse the oil with its aromatic essence.

4. Add Enhancements

• Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the olive oil. Stir lightly but leave some herbs visible for a rustic presentation.
• If desired, drizzle in the balsamic vinegar and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor complexity.

5. Garnish and Final Touches

• Finish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley or thyme and a dash of lemon zest for a burst of color and freshness.
