Lisa's Bread Dip
t's really not a recipe so much as just adding
whatever you want in olive oil. My options have been
Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried onion, salt,
Italian seasonings-basil, oregano, parsley, etc.,
dried hot pepper, Tabasco sauce, any hot sauce, black
pepper. You can make "garlic/olive oil" bread in the
broiler or just dip the bread into the dip. Enjoy!!
