REVIEWS:

My dinner guests loved this recipe. I served with bread lightly sprayed with olive oil, added salt and pepper, then toasted on the grill. I did change the recipe just a bit - I used a 3 to 1 combination of olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Tip - make lots of this! It goes quickly.

EXTREMELY close to Carraba's. Everyone I've made this for loves it.

Very Good! However, I did add a bit more olive oil.

This is just awesome. My 4 years old granddaughter ate and ate until there was nothing left! The best dipping oil ever made.

This is very good! Me and my husband went to Carrabba's for our aniversary this month and afterwards I could not stop talking about the bread and needing the recipe! So glad I found this. Thanks!

Ohhh this is so good. You must have a good tasting oil or it can ruin it. I added shredded Parmesan the 1st time I made it and mashed it up in a bowl w/ a whisk; 2nd time I added powdered/grated Parmesan and it is better w/ shredded. SO yummy.

Awesome! Delicious! I made this at Christmas after a dinner guest brought a loaf of artisan bread. The bread was hard and we needed a dipping sauce. I now make this herb oil every week to eat with bread as a appetizer.

We have them grate Parmesean cheese into the dipping oil...yummy!

This is SOOOOO good. I went to Carrabba's today for the first time. I'm NOT a bread eater. I'm a born and raised carnivore!!!! So when they brought the bread and dipping oil, I passed until everybody I was with told me what I was missing. And they were right. I came home tonight to see if I can find a recipe online and this one is it!!! GREAT STUFF. Tastes SOOOOO Good. And I a carnivore!

My family and friends have enjoyed this twice this week...it was yummy. I had a smidge of the oil & herb mixture left (about 2 T.) that I put on top of a roast. It gave a wonderful flavor to the roast!

I used just half the salt - personal preference. This is a great recipe!

So close the Carrabba's, I can't tell the difference. EXCELLENT!

Very close to original!! Make sure to use garlic powder and not garlic salt. it is a bit salty otherwise but still good

I made a double batch of this recipe and already love it so much I have made batches for friends. I have used it to make Garlic Bread with cheese and bacon bits, and I used the olive oil and dipping mix to marinate a split chicken, and baked it under a brick. It was wonderful.

The salt should be at a about 1:3 ratio with the other spices not 1:1. For example, you could make a bigger batch using 1 Tablespoon of the herbs and 1 teaspoon of salt.

We really liked it, but will cut back on the salt next time.

Just made the dipping oil...mine came out a little salty...will use less salt next time. Otherwise it is very good!

Close. Carrabba's uses fresh herbs which helps the flavors blend and compliment each other better than if you use dried herbs.

We have them grate Parmesan cheese into the dipping oil...yummy!

Is the minced garlic supposed to be fresh or dried? Thanks!

This is the recipe exactly I work for Carrabba's and yours is the only correct one. You must work there or know one someone who does.
