Olive Marinade

==Description==
This tangy, rich marinade starts with real olives, olive oil, and herbs and keeps a mild, light flavor. Bay leaves occasionally work for this, too.

* ¼ cup olive oil
* 2 tbsp. chopped oregano and basil or (5 tbsp. Italian seasoning)
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
* ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
* ¼ tsp. salt
== Directions ==
# Combine all ingredients in a container with a tight, fitting lid.

# Refrigerate 2 hours, then serve at room temperature.
