Ingredients
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, add the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, chopped fresh parsley, and salt.
- Whisk Until Blended: Use a whisk to thoroughly mix all ingredients until they are well combined and the oil is infused with the seasonings.
- Let Flavors Meld: Allow the mixture to sit uncovered for at least 30 minutes. This resting period helps the flavors to deepen and meld together for a richer taste.
- Serve: Pour the dipping oil into a shallow dish and serve alongside fresh bread for dipping, enhancing any mealtime or appetizer experience.
Notes
- Use the highest quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Allowing the oil to sit longer than 30 minutes intensifies the flavor; it can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control spiciness according to your taste preference.
- Store any leftover dipping oil in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Bring the oil back to room temperature before serving if refrigerated, as olive oil can solidify when cold.
