As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh! I hope this finds you close to Allah & in the best of health and Iman.

I just love dipping my bread in a mixture of oil & herbs.  Below are some great "Copycat" recipes to try.

Carraba's Bread Dipping Sauce

1 tablespoon fresh minced basil
1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley (Italian best)
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Combine all except oil and lemon juice in a small food processor or coffee
bean grinder. Chop briefly until all about the same size. Stir in olive
oil and lemon juice. To serve, combine about 1 1/2 tsp. herb mixture to
3-4 Tbsp. olive oil mixture on a small dish. Dip sliced bread in mixture.

Carrabbas Italian "Butter"

1/8 tsp. or a little less kosher salt (use according to your taste)

Mix together your dry spices. Add crushed garlic to the dry spices. Place
on small saucer. Pour olive oil over mixture. Dip with your favorite hot
French bread.
