Sicilian Bread Dipping Seasoning

An olive oil dip, whether just olive oil alone or combined with different spices and culinary herbs is used for dipping fresh bread. This is a common practice in Greece and some parts of Italy but seems to really be most popular in the US.

You can also use this seasoning for a zippy vinegar and oil dressing for salads by mixing 3 tablespoons of Sicilian Bread Dipping Seasoning with 2/3 cups olive oil and 1/3 cup red wine vinegar (we feel that balsamic vinegar is a bit too strong when added to this seasoning blend in this particular case). You can also use this dressing as an easy, light marinade for chicken, fish or pork (marinate for 2-4 hours prior to cooking).

Hand blended from garlic, tomato, smoked sweet paprika, chipotle, basil, brown mustard, oregano, bay leaves, marjoram, thyme, and rosemary.
