Bread Dipping Sauce

1 cup extra virgin olive oil

2-3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Kosher salt to taste

Fresh cracked black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or more

2-3 tbsp jarred pesto 2 chopped garlic cloves

2 chopped garlic cloves

Mix all ingredients and let sit for a bit for flavors to combine. Dip bread in it. Taste and say, “mmmmmm.”

Here’s one for homemade pesto. It’s easy too. I got it from my friend Mary Henkel Judson who is the editor of the Port Aransas South Jetty newspaper.
