Some nights I will literally dream up new recipes and this pepperoncini dip is a product of a dream! It turned out better than I could have imagined and I know y’all are going to love it. Be sure to add this one to your holiday menu. It’s perfect to prep ahead of time and gets better and better as it sits in the fridge!
Servings: 8 servings (2 cups)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese can sub dairy-free yogurt of choice
- 1 1/2 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning or 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1/3 cup pepperoncinis finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon pepperoncini juice
- 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
- 1 small shallot, finely diced or 2-3 tablespoons of chopped onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1-2 cloves garlic finely minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine everything in a large bowl and stir until well blended. Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Before serving, top with more diced pepperoncinis and green onions.
- Serve with your favorite dippers such as chips, pretzels, crackers, or vegetables. Last 3-4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Optional: You can use a food processor or blender if you prefer a smoother texture.
Notes
- This dip can be prepared a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge, and give it a good stir before serving.
- I prefer Greek yogurt over the blended cottage cheese for this dip.
- For a dip that’s a little bit milder, reduce the amount of pepperoncinis or opt for a milder variety. To make it spicier, you can add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeños.
- If you like a thinner dip, add a bit more pepperoncini juice or a dash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) until it’s the consistency you like.
- For a smoother dip, use a food processor or blender.
