Carrabba's Bread Dip


It is impossible to go to Carrabba's and not overindulge on the bread and olive oil dip.  IMPOSSIBLE!  The herb combination is great.  I have to make myself stop eating bread and oil so I have room for dinner.  I had already planned to make the copycat Pasta Carrabba when the recipe for their bread dip from Mangio de Sola popped up in my Google Reader.  I was SO excited! 

This recipe is spot on.  It tasted just like Carrabba's.  We loved it.  I only made a third of the recipe below and it was enough for 2 or 3 plates.  I saved the extra for this weekend!  YUM!  Now, if I can find a recipe for the Tagliarini Picchi Pacchiu - I would never have to go back!







Carrabba's Bread Dip
Mangio da Sola

1 Tbsp dried parsley

2 tsp garlic salt

In a container with a lid, combine all the ingredients together. Store mixture in the refrigerator until needed.

I've never been to Carrabas and actually have one close. You're tempting me to give them a try. This all looks so delicious.

Have you had Carrabba's Zucchini Frites? They are to die for! I LOVE them and the aioli that comes with them. Sigh. I need to find me a Carrabba's 'round here!
Their side of broccoli is also the best broccoli ever.

This is an awesome dip. I make it all the time with a sour dough foccasia.
