Classic Italian Bread Dipping Oil
This recipe recreates the iconic, herb-rich dipping oil found at Carrabba's Italian Grill. It is a bold, savory blend that turns any loaf of bread into a gourmet appetizer.
Ingredients
- ½ cup high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp fresh garlic minced (about 2-3 cloves)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp dried rosemary crushed

- Pour the olive oil over the herbs and garlic.
- Use a spoon to gently whisk the ingredients together until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the oil.
