Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by pouring a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil into a shallow dish or bowl. Aim for about one cup.
Next, artfully drizzle balsamic vinegar over the olive oil, creating an inviting swirl.
Finely chop a combination of fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and rosemary, then sprinkle them into the oil mixture.
Grate in a clove of fresh garlic to introduce a pungent kick that complements the other flavors.
Finally, season your mixture with a pinch of sea salt, elevating the oil's richness.
Transfer the finished bread dipping oil to a rustic bowl for serving.
