Experience the classic taste combination of the Mediterranean: basil and garlic. We've combined sweet basil and oven-roasted garlic with a sensational blend of herbs and spices to create a dip mix that is a perennial favorite with kids of all ages! After you've tasted our Basil & Garlic Dip Mix, we can pretty well assure you that your veggie trays will never be the same again!

You can also use this versatile dip mix in a host of other ways. To add a new taste sensation to baked or mashed potatoes, sprinkle some of our dip mix on a dollop of sour cream and butter. You can do the same thing with a toasted or plain bagel and cream cheese - just sprinkle some of our dip mix on top of the cream cheese to make your bagel come alive with excitement!

Our Basil & Garlic Dip Mix is also wonderful in most stir-fry dishes - just sprinkle some into the wok as you are cooking (to your own personal taste) and you'll have created a fabulous new taste sensation! (Be careful, though! Because we use only the highest quality herbs and spices in our dip mixes, a little bit goes a long way! You will only need a little bit to appropriately flavor the dish! Taste the dish as it is cooking and adjust the amount of dip mix that you're using to your own personal taste preference.)

You can also try it as an exotic spice rub for fish, pork, beef and poultry. Simply rub our dip mix with your fingers into the meat, and let the wonderful flavors of the herbs and spices be absorbed for about 20 or 30 minutes. (Hint: the longer that you can allow the flavors to absorb into the meat, the more flavorful it will be!)

To make an authentic Southern Mediterranean-style bread dipper, combine about a tablespoon of our dip mix with about an ounce each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (but red or white wine vinegar works just as well). Let it mellow for about 30 minutes and use it instead of butter on your crusty, fresh bread or baguette

To make a "quick and easy" marinade, combine about one tablespoon of our Basil & Garlic Dip Mix with about one ounce of extra virgin olive oil. Cover your meat and veggies with the oil mixture and let them mellow for as long as possible (i.e. up to a couple of hours) before cooking or grilling. The oil will penetrate into the meat and help to tenderize and flavor it, making it even more enjoyable! (This works especially well with a juicy, thick steak!)

For a different "twist" on burgers, before grilling, combine a teaspoon of our dip mix with every two patties of ground beef that you're using. Grill your beef as you like it and place the patties on lightly toasted hamburger buns. (Hint: You may want to ensure that there are a couple of frosty beers around to help wash those burgers down!)

You're really limited only by your imagination when you use our dip mixes. One of the secrets to good cooking is to use good ingredients, which is exactly what our Basil & Garlic Dip Mix is! Buon appetito!
