@jlharsh I just started using it so I'm not super creative. I make a oil and balsamic vinegar and lemon salad dressing which I love and I do like what restaurants do and have olive oil on a plate with balsamic and dip my French bread in it and soak it up. Lol those are the two things I've tried so far but I just added it. I cook with it, of course, but I am looking to substitute out treats and bad fats for healthy ones so I'm using it more to eat with. Anyways, I'd love any ideas. I'm sure if you've been doing it for a while. You have a lot more than me.

I love it! Keeping it simple is easy and yummy. Having some fresh warm bread with olive oil and balsamic…..enough said!
I eat quite a bit of olive oil, go back and forth from trying to be creative/different at times then boring and easy at others. I add it like you when I have salad. As my rule, I try to eat 4-5 Tablespoons a day and typically add it on top of every meal and snack. I mostly eat grain, beans/legumes, fruits and veggies (and coffee) and mix it up with herbs and spices to go with the olive oil. There are some fun flavored oils, too (basil, chocolate, vanilla, jalapeño….) We are going to need to share notes, or maybe a Connect Discussion about ways to eat EVOO.
Do you notice olive oil impacting how you feel in any way?
