Notes
Store leftover Carrabba’s Dipping Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Since it contains fresh garlic, it’s best to use it within 2-3 days to maintain optimal flavor and freshness. Before serving again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and give it a good stir to re-emulsify the oil and spices.
