ANTIPASTO DIP, A PARTY IN YOUR MOUTH!



Antipasto Dip, a Party in Your Mouth! image

This is my one claim to cooking fame. I had this recipe published in Southern Living magazine years ago. Don't let the long list of ingredients intimidate you, it's pretty much just a matter of chopping it all in a food processor. My little brother used to call it pizza dip because it tasted like everything on a pizza to him....

1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 c olive oil
2/3 c white vinegar
2 tsp italian seasoning blend
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place the celery, green peppers and olives in a food processor and pulse until a small chop. You can, of course, do this by hand instead.

  • 4. Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a small saucepan and mix.
  • 5. Bring to a boil over medium heat and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar.

  • 8. Serve with pita chips, lettuce leaves, bagel chips, or just about anything.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to the dip.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables, as they should still have a slight crunch.
  • Season the dip to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, bread, or vegetables.
  • For a more flavorful dip, marinate the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before roasting.
  • If you don't have time to roast the vegetables, you can also use a grill or a sauté pan.
  • For a creamy dip, add a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream.
  • For a vegan dip, use plant-based cream cheese or sour cream.
  • Garnish the dip with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
