Slice big juicy reds into 1-inch rounds and spoon the pesto oil on top, or cut tiny cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the middle of the bowl, surrounded by the oil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it creamy:<\/strong> Looking for a silky, decadent dip? Add a little cream cheese or creme fraiche, and give it a good whisk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Pesto Dip for Bread<\/h2>\n<p>Similar to prepared pesto, the trick is to remove all the air when storing the leftovers, otherwise the pesto will go from green to brown quickly. Transfer any remaining dipping oil to sealed, airtight containers and place them in the fridge until you&#8217;re ready to use the oil again.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does pesto bread dip last?<\/h3>\n<p>It will last three to four days if stored properly. Pro tip: To extend this dip&#8217;s life expectancy even further, place a layer of cling wrap on top of the oil before closing the container. This will literally cling to the oil and prevent even more air from getting in.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze pesto dipping sauce for bread?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! In fact, this is a great recipe to make in batches\u2014some for now, some to freeze for later. This pesto oil will be just fine in the freezer for up to four months.<\/p>\n<h2>Pesto Dip for Bread Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2074339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Pesto-Dipping-Oil_TOHD24_34991_DianaChistruga_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Pesto dipping oil in a shallow serving bowl, served with sliced baguette \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Diana Chistruga for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best oil for making pesto dipping oil?<\/h3>\n<p>High-quality extra virgin olive oil. This is not a time for Canola or coconut oil. Not only will good olive oil taste better, but it will sneak in some healthy fats and antioxidants at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is my pesto oil dark?<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure you use a super fresh, brand-new pesto, as in a new jar or container that hasn&#8217;t been opened and exposed to air yet. Using semi-old pesto won&#8217;t produce that verdant green color you&#8217;re after.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve pesto dipping oil with other than bread?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve a little on the side to drizzle over grilled chicken, meat and lamb chops. You could also use it as a marinade to season your meat and fish before cooking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is absolutely my favorite and easiest appetizer for entertaining.
