Follow The Directions

01

Step

In an airtight container or jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, minced garlic, seasoned salt, and red pepper flakes. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously until all ingredients are thoroughly emulsified and well combined. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

03

Step

Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. This step is crucial for the ultimate taste experience. (Estimated time: 30 minutes)

04

Step

Before serving, shake the oil mixture well to re-emulsify. Pour into individual dipping dishes or a small bowl for sharing. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

05

Step

Serve immediately with crusty bread, such as baguette slices, focaccia, or ciabatta. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

For a smoother consistency, whisk the ingredients together in a bowl instead of shaking.
Experiment with different types of balsamic vinegar for varying levels of sweetness and complexity.
If you don't have seasoned salt, use regular salt and a pinch of garlic powder and onion powder.
Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme can be added for a burst of aroma and flavor. Finely chop and stir in before serving.
A splash of lemon juice can brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity.
