Notes
- Variations
- Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight jar or container in the fridge and lasts 1 week, possibly longer.
- PRO TIP | Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving to allow olive oil to become a liquid again or run under warm water, and shake to mix.
- Adjust servings easily using the recipe card's servings adjuster. It can be used for salads, marinades, and many other purposes, see post for ideas.
- Replace the basil and oregano with Italian seasoning instead. Play around with the spice mixtures; use a little garlic salt, onion powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes; you get the idea! Add a few tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. As a personal preference, add your own twist; use a touch of celery salt, maybe some fresh parsley or a teaspoon of honey.
