Savor the classic Italian tastes of sun-ripened tomatoes and oven-roasted garlic! We've created this fabulous mix of herbs, spices, garlic and veggies that would make any Roman proud!You can also use this versatile dip mix in many other ways than just as a veggie tray dip. For example, to make a very authentic Italian-style bread dipper, combine about a tablespoon of our dip mix with an ounce each of olive oil and balsamic vinegar (but red or white wine vinegar works beautifully also). Allow it to "mellow" for about 30 minutes and use it instead of butter with your crusty, fresh bread.

To add an exciting 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!

For a delicious twist on gourmet hamburgers, 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: It's completely up to you, but you may want to ensure that there are a few frosty ales and / or lagers nearby to help wash the burgers down!)

Our Tomato Garlic Dip Mix also tastes fantastic 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 wonderful new taste sensation!

You can also use our dip mix as a Mediterranean-style 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 garlic, 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 a "quick and easy" Italian-style marinade, combine a tablespoon of our Tomato Garlic Dip Mix with an 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!

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 Tomato Garlic Dip Mix is! Buon appetito!
