Notes
Leftover olive oil dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.(if it lasts that long). Simply bring to room temperature before serving.
Leftover oil can be added to morning omelet for an elevated breakfast. Or can be tossed with pasta, so good!
Use simple plain breads like fresh baguette, cibatta or rustic Italian to really enjoy the flavor of the oil, you want the oil to shine.
For best flavor allow the garlic dip sit for 10-20 minutes before serving for the flavors to mingle and garlic to mellow.
