Olive Oil And Balsamic Bread Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 loaf fresh Italian bread, sliced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 teaspoons dark aged balsamic vinegar
fresh basil leaf, chiffonade (optional)

Preparation

NOTE: Play around a little bit with the olive oil/balsamic vinegar proportions. There should however always be more olive oil than vinegar.
Slice up bread into appetizer sizes and place on a platter.
In a pretty shallow bowl or plate, pour the olive oil then drizzle the balsamic vinegar around and across the pool of olive oil.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Take a piece of the bread and lightly dunk into the mixture. Take a bite!
Now the Roman gods are happy and you should be, too!
