Famous Italian Restaurant Dipping Oil

This Italian restaurant-style dipping oil is the perfect accompaniment for fresh, warm bread. It’s simple, flavorful, and features classic Italian herbs and spices like basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. You can serve this at the beginning of a meal, and it’s sure to please your guests.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Combine the Ingredients:

    • In a small bowl or shallow dish, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar (if using), dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt.
    • Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.

  2. Adjust to Taste:

    • Taste the dipping oil and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like more heat, add additional red pepper flakes. If you prefer a sharper tang, you can add a little more balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice.

  3. Serve:

    • Place the dipping oil in a small shallow dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
    • Serve with slices of fresh, crusty Italian bread for dipping.

Tips:

  • Fresh Garlic: For a more robust flavor, you can substitute garlic powder with fresh minced garlic. Be sure to let the oil sit for a few minutes to allow the garlic to infuse.
  • Herb Variations: Feel free to adjust the herbs based on your preferences. Rosemary, thyme, or sage can be great additions if you like different flavors.
  • Serving Suggestions: This dipping oil pairs perfectly with bruschetta, salads, or a charcuterie board.

This Italian restaurant-style dipping oil is an easy way to elevate your next dinner. It brings the vibrant, aromatic flavors of Italy to your table and is perfect for pairing with your favorite bread!
