Ingredients
- 1 cup Cento Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Cento Chefs Cut Sun Dried Tomatoes, finely chopped
- ½ cup Cento Imported Greek Seasoned Pitted Olives, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Cento Crushed Red Pepper
- 1 tsp Cento Italian Seasoning
- Cento Fine Sicilian Sea Salt, to taste
- Cento Ground Black Pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Cento Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
- 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
Directions
Combine olive oil, tomatoes, olives, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify. Before serving, stir in balsamic vinegar and fresh parsley. Transfer the cold dipping oil to a serving bowl or individual dipping dishes. Serve this chilled dipping oil with slices of chilled cucumber, carrot sticks, or your favorite crisp veggies. It's a refreshing and flavorful option for a light snack or appetizer. Adjust the quantities according to your taste preferences. Serves 4-6.
