The BEST Creamy Balsamic Bread Dip

I love carbs. I am a sucker for breads and noodles and it's no wonder everything I pin on pinterest ends up being one or the other. When I was growing up, for special "fancy" meals my mom would buy yummy bread and set out olive oil and balsamic vinegar in little bowls for dipping, like they do at nice Italian restaurants. I loved it. 

Then, a year or so ago, a friend of my mother-in-law's introduced us to this recipe. I love how it has the same delicious oil/balsamic taste that I've always loved, in one creamy and exciting bowl. It is super quick and easy to make, and it's sure to please a crowd.

I make it in two variations, so I'm giving you both recipes. 

The original: 

6 cloves garlic
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
Fresh rosemary, to taste
Olive oil, 2 Tbs
Salt and pepper, taste

The even easier variety:
1/3 cup balsamic salad dressing
1/3 cup mayonnaise

No matter what variety you choose, all you have to do is blend all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go eat a whole loaf of bread with this dip and blame it on my pregnant state.
