In a small serving bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parsley, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Give everything a good stir and let the dip sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors can come together.
Serve with warm crusty bread, focaccia, or your favorite artisan loaf.
Notes
Let the dip sit for 10-15 minutes before serving so the flavors have time to mingle.
Serve with warm crusty bread for the best experience.
This also makes a great dip for focaccia or pizza crust.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature and give it a good stir before serving, as the olive oil will solidify when chilled.
