    How this oil recipe came about

    My history with this herbed oil dates back to South America! I visited both Argentina and Chile for 3 weeks and became obsessed with a similar dip. This was a go-to oil dip there and I missed it once I returned. Although it is not fully Italian, the herbs mimic the flavor.
