We're back with another delicious dipping oil!
Meet our Summertime Dipping Oil! Perfect for setting down on the al fresco table, this appetizer (or snack) is bursting with seasonal flavors.
Last year, our Savory Dipping Oil was one of our most-clicked recipes so we’ve created a new, delicious version for the community. This recipe features fresh basil straight from the garden, adding that extra sweetness and spice. You don’t have to use basil from your own garden of course, but this dish is extra tasty when you do.
Tip: This oil also works for our Easy Weeknight Pizza! Just substitute this oil combination for the current one in the recipe.
