Garlic & Herb Dipping Oil with Dates
Bread dipping oil has recently gone a bit viral on social media, and this is another trend I am happy to participate in.
These loaded oils only take 10-15 minutes to prepare, and they’re loaded with hearty-healthy fats from the olive oil, tons of flavor from the herbs and garlic, plus extra fiber and antioxidants from the Natural Delights Medjool Dates.
Like most of my recipes, this is super adaptable and great for making an impromptu dip with whatever you’ve got on hand! For example:
Swap the balsamic with fresh lemon juice
Use any kind of olive you have, or ever pepperocinis
Sub feta cheese with goat cheese or avocado
Literally any combination of herbs will work
Add red pepper flakes for a kick
Make a super simple version with olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and herbs
