OLIVE OIL DIPPING SAUCE



Olive Oil Dipping Sauce image

I love to have this on hand as a base for salad dressings, garlic bread, pizza topping, or just garlic flavored olive oil. For salad dressing whisk your favorite vinegar (balsalmic, red wine vinegar...) with a little honey, then add about the same amount of this dipping sauce and you have a wonderful dressing. For garlic bread brush this on slices of bread, broil for 2 - 3 minutes, flip the bread over and brush that side, broil it for an additional 2 minutes, then add shredded parmesan cheese. Yummy!

Tips:

  • To make a simple dipping sauce, combine extra virgin olive oil with dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. You can also add fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, or rosemary, for a more complex flavor.
  • If you are using a flavored olive oil, you may not need to add additional seasonings. However, you can still add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Dipping sauces can be served with a variety of foods, including bread, crackers, vegetables, and grilled meats. You can also use dipping sauces to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and wraps.
  • Dipping sauces can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Be sure to store the sauce in an airtight container to prevent it from oxidizing.
