Creamy Giardiniera Dip

Total Time
5 minutes
We can all but guarantee this four-ingredient dip will become a party staple in your house. For the right final consistency and rich flavor, use oil-based giardiniera (also called Chicago-style) rather than a vinegar-based variety, which allows the giardiniera to seamlessly blend into the silky cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan mixture.

Back to TopWow this is amazing!! So easy! I did not use a food processor, just stirred it. Can't stop eating it on fancy crackers!!

This sounds delicious. I am eager to make it and will report back. I wonder if some kind of chopped toasted or even glazed nut garnish might be nice. Hmmm.
