Use Olive Oil for Good Nutrition

Olive oil is well known as healthy oil. In fact, olive oil will help to prevent cardiovascular disease. Olive oil is great for cooking because it has a high smoking point. Make a healthy appetizer by mixing one-quarter cup of olive oil with your favorite seasonings like chopped fresh basil, garlic, oregano, peppers and a little Parmesan cheese. Slice a loaf of crusty fresh baked whole grain bread and enjoy by dipping the bread into the olive oil-cheese dip.
