Other ideas for your Loaded Olive Oil Dip

If you don’t like capers, or don’t have any hazelnuts on hands, don’t worry. You can add so many other deliciousness to your olive oil:

• Roasted zucchini, eggplant, or bell pepper, or caramelized onions
• Cooked butter beans, lentils or chickpeas
• Nuts and seeds, like cashews, walnuts, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds
• Herbs, like rosemary, parsley, thyme, or summer savory
• Grated vegan parmesan or crumbled feta
• Extra spices, like chili flakes, sumac, or smoked paprika
• Dried fruits, such as prunes, dried apricots, dried cranberries, or golden raisins
• And veggies, like red onions, fresh chili, cherry tomatoes, or cucumbers

You can also play around with the ratios. Use more or less oil, double your toppings, or omit the vinegar completely.

Honestly, it’s a bit like the fridge-clean-out version of a fancy dip. Whatever you’ve got, chop it up and throw it in. The more textures and colors, the better!
