CARRABBA'S BREAD DIPPING SPICE

Source: Barb Gertz
(this is similar to the recipe I have been making at home, but I haven't added the olive oil and lemon juice, to the mix. I just add the Olive oil latter for the dip)

1 tablespoon minced basil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (Italian is best)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or ground sea salt
1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I use more)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Combine all of the ingredients, EXCEPT oil and lemon. Put in a small food processor, (I used my little food chopper) Chop briefly until all ingredients are about the same. Stir in oil and lemon juice.

TO SERVE:
Combine about 1 1/2 teaspoons spice blend to 3 to 4 Tablespoons Olive oil on a small Dish. Dip sliced Bread in Mixture. French bread is good.
