Carrabba’s Olive Oil Bread Dip is my favorite appetizer. We went to dinner at Carrabba’s last week and I had to make myself stop eating the hot bread and olive oil dip so I would have room for dinner.This recipe is the real thing. I got the recipe straight from Carrabba’s Italian Grill. This recipe is super simple to make and is one of my favorite things to make for spaghetti night. It is also a great addition to your charcuterie board at parties. Give this dip a try ASAP!
How to Make Carrabba’s Bread Dip
This herb olive oil dipping sauce is such an easy recipe to make with pantry staples. In a small bowl, whisk together parsley, basil, rosemary, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle a few teaspoons of the herb mixture in a small dish and add some extra virgin olive oil. Serve the dip with some crusty bread and enjoy!
- Carrabba’s uses fresh parsley, fresh basil, and fresh rosemary. I prefer to use all dry spices.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs. You will need 3 times as many fresh herbs as dried herbs.
- For this recipe you will need:
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh chopped parsley
- ¾ teaspoon fresh chopped basil
- ¾ teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
- If using fresh herbs, mix the spices in a small food processor.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs. You will need 3 times as many fresh herbs as dried herbs.
- Carrabba’s uses granulated garlic in their spice mixture. Feel free to substitute fresh garlic. I actually prefer to make this a fresh garlic clove. I like lots of garlic flavor!!
- Feel free to add some grated parmesan cheese to the spice mixture. YUM!
- Serve the olive oil herb dip with your favorite bread. Crusty Italian bread, warm french bread, or warm sourdough bread all work great.
- You can easily double, triple or quadruple the spice mixture.
- Store mixture in an airtight container at room temperature.
What to Serve with Best Bread Dip
This is hands down the best dipping spices! We always have the ingredients to make this for spaghetti night. Heck, just give me a small plate of this dip and a nice piece of crusty Italian bread for dinner! This is equally delicious used as a salad dressing. Mix together a heaping tablespoon of the spices with half of a cup of good quality olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. SO good! This restaurant favorite is a staple at our house!
