Taking "Ten Amazing Foods" one step further!!

I'm on a bit of a recipe kick right now, so for ten Wednesdays I'll give you a healthy recipe, one for each of the "10 Amazing Foods" from the March 30th post -

http://oldermommystillyummy.blogspot.com/2011/03/ten-amazing-foods.html


The sixth on my list of amazing foods is olive oil and the recipe to go with it is -
Olive Oil Dip

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
7 gloves garlic, finely grated
3 tablespoons good quality balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons crushed dried oregano
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

 
Pour the olive oil onto a salad plate. Spoon the grated garlic onto five or six different spots on the plate. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the oil and garlic. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano. Season with black pepper.

 
Serve with torn pieces of Italian bread for dipping.

    Yes - this is such a healthy option - the balsamic vinegar adds a fabulous taste.

    Mmm, I'll need to save this for summer when the local farmer's market starts up - our bread choices are pathetic in the winter here on the Cape. Summer is a different story ;-)

    I just have to make this. I am sure that my husband is going to crush some olives and add to the recipe. He does not leave a recipe alone.
    Thanks for sharing.
