The Best Olive Oil Bread Dip

Appetizer

While exploring the charming eateries in the Florida Keys, I stumbled upon a bread dip so delectable that I just had to get the recipe. I begged the waitress for the recipe and with a little kindness and a generous tip she shared the tiny seafood restaurant’s secret. This dipping oil is bursting with flavor, balancing herbs, garlic, and just the right amount of heat. Perfect for entertaining or enjoying at home with some crusty bread.
