  • ¼ cup high quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh basil, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)
  • Bread, for serving (optional)
Instructions

  3. Serve with bread alongside for dipping, if desired. You can also enjoy this sauce mixed in with pasta, on top of chicken or fish, or tossed with steamed veggies!
Notes
This dipping sauce doesn’t really need salt because the olives play the role of the salty component. However, if you would prefer it on the saltier side, feel free to add salt. You can also add a teaspoon of parmesan cheese as an additional salty component, if you would like!
