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....

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 can(s) 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 7 oz cans sliced mushrooms, drained and chopped
1 7 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 c pimiento-stuffed olives, drained and chopped
1/2 c chopped green pepper
1/2 c chopped celery
FOR THE DRESSING
1/2 c finely chopped red onion
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
1 Tbsp sugar

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.
  • 2. Add the mushrooms, roasted red peppers and artichokes to the processor and chop. Be careful not to over chop and turn it into a paste.
  • 3. Remove to a bowl.
  • 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.
  • 6. Remove from the heat and pour over the vegetables. Stir to mix.
  • 7. Cover and refrigerate until cooled. It's even better the next day and will keep in the refrigerator up to a week.
  • 8. Serve with pita chips, lettuce leaves, bagel chips, or just about anything.
