Easy Loaded Garlic Dip - Perfect for the snack table at any BBQ!

SO, if you know me, you know ME! I eat everything with a sauce or a dip, otherwise what’s the point?

Its the easiest and quickest appetizer for entertaining with your freshly baked beer bread and turns into the greatest crowd pleaser of all time!

It truly is a dip that you should have everything in your pantry and can whip up in 5 minutes or less! Now thats my kinda cooking and the way I intended Flour and Dough to be! Beter yet, if you don’t have the exact ingredients at home, open your fridge and pantry, have a look around and
I promise you will find something in there that will work just as good!

Here are the ingredients for this Loaded Garlic Dip and then I have added some variations of this specific dip that I have done and tried! I’ll make sure to capture some photos next time and add some more post about them!

Run down of the Ingredients list

Olive oil - I have just used whatever version I have in the cupboard at the time I need it

Balsamic Vinegar - again, I have used whatever version I have available

Garlic Cloves - I have used fresh cloves chopped up and some roasted ones

Parmesan Cheese - I use ready grated cheese here but feel free to grate

Fresh Herbs - I use whatever herbs I currently have growing in the garden

Salt & Pepper - to taste


Tips & Tricks

It will last about a week in the fridge in a airtight container, so feel free to make more. However, we end up finishing it!

Use a flat/shallow dish, so when you scoop you actually get a bit of everything and the oils don’t separate way down to the top and way down to the bottom!

I like to use my salt with a of a heavy hand, it helps bring out the flavours when adding to the beer bread baking mix. Make sure you taste yours!

Make sure you try some of these variations …


Pesto Bread Dipping Oil

Chilli Bread Dipping Oil

Sundried Tomatoe Bread Dipping Oil

Olive Bread Dipping Oil


I’ll update these link as soon as I have the photos ready!

Great, now this is what your here for…the Recipe

Serving Suggestions

You have to use our Oregano Garlic and Sage Beer Bread, or if you prefer a tad spicier - Chilli and Garlic Beer Bread will do the trick!


Find yourself with some leftover dip? Fear not, I have tossed it through a crunchy salad the next day for lunch and served it over plain cooked pasta with some added shredded chicken! Delicious both ways!
