How to store olive oil: olive oil is perishable and so you want to be careful about where you store it. Make sure that you put it in a cool, dark place. Once you’ve opened your bottle, it will last andout 1-2 months. So write the date on it and get a new one if you need to! Fresh olive oil tastes SO much better in any dish!
Fresh or dried herbs? You can use either in this recipe! If you have a lot of spices at your housee already, then this dip is extra easy to whip up in a flash. In fact, try making this Homemade Italian Seasoning ahead of time and you will always be ready to make this appetizer!
To make it kid-friendly: Go ahead and leave out the red pepper flakes and use rosemary or thyme instead. This takes out any heat and just adds a bit of extra flavor!
