Some comments regarding the Herbed Bread dipping Sauce:
This never fails to impress and is a great hostess gift. I have made a double batch of the mixture and given it as a gift, along with a homemade loaf of bread and a bottle of quality extra virgin olive oil.We made a bulk batch and served it with cubed french bread, as it we felt it was the perfect accompaniment to the Italian meal we served. We were asked all night for the recipe. Even better, we made the dipping oil a couple of days before the party, and the flavor was simply amazing.
Absolutely the BEST dipping oil I have ever come across. I don’t only use it for bread dipping, it forms the base for my homemade chicken artichoke pizza. I also use it in place of Italian seasonings. A wonderful recipe. Simple and quick appetizer, there is never any Bread Dip left at the end of the evening. I wanted to know the ingredients from Carabba’s. I used this recipe as my contribution to a dinner I attended and everyone was impressed. If you need to use the dipping oil immediately after making it, simply place into the microwave for about 10 seconds. Heating allows the flavors to blend immediately into the oil. Also, consider adding some fresh Parmesan cheese to the recipe in place of using salt.
