2-SECOND ITALIAN BREAD OLIVE OIL DIP
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.

ITALIAN OLIVE OIL DIP
A simple recipe for making an herbed olive oil dip for Italian bread. Serve in a shallow bowl, and let your guests help themselves. Apparently many Italian restaurants in North America and abroad are now serving a flavored olive oil sauce to dip bread into as an appetizer. You can easily vary the recipe to suit your taste, by changing the herbs. Do not keep this mixture for longer than 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator, as fresh garlic has caused problems, making the mixture unsafe.

- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give the dip a more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste. The amount of garlic, salt, and pepper in the dip can be adjusted to your liking. If you like a more garlicky dip, add more garlic. If you like a spicier dip, add more pepper.
- Let the dip sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Some good options include bread, crackers, vegetables, and fruit.
