I don't think you really need to take shots of pure olive oil, thats pretty sick in my opinion. If you really want to get olive oil in your diet for good fats just start cooking with it. Throw your lean chicken or meat in with a little olive oil (and garlic in my case) and you'll be surprised how much flavor it adds.

But if you want to make sure your getting all of it in your system, since the meat only absorbs some of it, then just toss it on your salad with some Balsamic or red wine vinegar. Add seasoning for taste and you got a healthy and great tasting dressing. Or you could just buy an olive oil and vinegar dressing, I personally love Newman's Own and it is 100% natural with just the main ingredients and seasoning. You could also buy those salad dressing packets where you mix them with water and olive oil...they are pure seasoning so you know exactly what is in it. Just avoid the ones that have sugar.

Most homemade recipes call for around 1.5 teaspoons balsamic or red wine vinegar and 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil for a salad then just add fresh pepper and salt. I forget exactly since I just do it by eye and taste now. Also when it comes to olive oil you get what you pay for. More expensive olive oil almost always tastes better than the cheap bulk stuff.
