How May Italian Dipping Oil be Made?
Spoon the olive oil into three separate, small, shallow dipping dishes. To each bowl, add one or two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. To suit your taste, adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar. Usually prefer 2 teaspoons of vinegar but you can taste and vary the amount to suit your needs. Start with a tablespoon and increase the amount as needed.
If using add one minced or crushed garlic clove to each bowl. If you don't like garlic feel free to leave it out. Although it's not necessary. We added garlic because to adore it. Add one or two pinches of your preferred herbs. Add some freshly chopped herbs for added taste.
Top with a generous amount of grated or shredded parmesan cheese. I think that's what makes this dip so delicious, so unless you're not a fan leave it in. Toast some freshly warmed crusty bread to mop up all that delicious sauce.
