Carrabba's Olive Oil Bread Dip Recipe
This simple mix of herbs and garlic transforms plain olive oil into something you’ll want to put on everything!The trick to getting it just right is using fresh garlic and letting the flavors infuse for at least 30 minutes.I always go with a high-quality extra virgin olive oil because it makes a huge difference in both taste and texture.A pinch of red pepper flakes adds just enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering the herbs.If you want the dip to taste just like Carrabba’s, use dried basil and oregano instead of fresh—it’s what gives it that familiar taste.The key is to serve it with warm, crusty bread so the oil soaks in just enough without making it soggy.
