Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary crushed
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for a hint of smokiness
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder optional, for added depth of flavor

Instructions
 

  • Ensure you have all the ingredients in front of you. This step saves time when you start prepping.
  • In a medium bowl, pour in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Follow up by adding the dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, dried basil, dried parsley, rosemary, black pepper, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Whisk until everything is combined and the mixture looks uniform.
  • Dip a piece of bread into the mix and taste it. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Feel free to add more herbs or salt, depending on your preferences.
  • While your dip is resting, slice your loaf of bread. You want it fresh and warm, perfect for dipping. You can also lightly toast it for extra crunch.
  • Pour the dip into a small serving bowl. Arrange the slices of bread around it, and you’re ready to serve. Watch as your guests go back for more!

  • Fresh Bread: Serve with fresh bread. A crusty Italian loaf or fresh baguette is a fantastic choice.
  • Herb Variations: Don’t hesitate to experiment with fresh herbs if you have them on hand.
  • Spice Levels: If you prefer it spicier, increase the crushed red pepper flakes. Adjust till your taste buds are happy.
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the dip a few hours in advance. Just cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
