Celina's No Cook Tomato Dip

Perfect with olive or rosemary bread. Celina brought this dip to Cypress Salon's last book club meeting (topic of conversation, Beauty Queens by Libba Bray) and we basically inhaled it. She was nice enough to share the recipe.

18 oz tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
1/3 cup delicious olive oil (it's not for cooking so a flavorful oil for raw eating works best)
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt & pep to taste
1/2 tbsp oregano
1/2 tbsp basil
1/2 tsp rosemary, crushed mortar and pestle style

Whisk the tomato paste, water, and olive oil together well. Add all the spices and let stand a couple hours for flavors to blend.
