Recipes can be simple yet amazing. Even Ina Garten enjoys serving a Trader Joe’s French Apple Tart with ice cream and caramel sauce at a dinner party. Recently, Giada De Laurentiis shared a festive dip recipe online, claiming it as the ultimate holiday appetizer. With only two ingredients and less than 15 minutes of prep time, it’s a quick and tasty option.
Giada’s 3-Ingredient Dip Recipe is a twist on the classic Caprese salad, featuring tomato, basil, and mozzarella. She introduces a new addition to the Caprese repertoire with her Caprese Ricotta Dip. Using canned cherry tomatoes for sweetness and vibrant flavor, along with whole-milk ricotta and high-quality balsamic vinegar, this dip offers a fresh take on a beloved dish.
To make Giada’s Tomato and Ricotta Caprese Dip, blend drained cherry tomatoes with salt to create a chunky purée. Mix ricotta cheese with olive oil and salt, spread it on a platter, and top with the tomato purée and torn basil leaves. Garnish with balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
Pair this dip with crostini or crackers as suggested by De Laurentiis, or get creative with options like baked pizza dough, sourdough bread, garlic breadsticks, pasta chips, roasted potatoes, cheese flatbread, or crudites. Whether for casual gatherings or game nights, this easy recipe is a crowd-pleaser.
