Martha Stewart Tangy Pepperoncini Dip

Martha Stewart tangy pepperoncini dip is a quick no cook party appetizer: chopped pepperoncini stirred into Greek yogurt and mayonnaise for a briny, tangy bite. Five minutes, three pantry ingredients, and you have a creamy game day dip for crackers or pita chips.

Cold and creamy with a vinegary kick, the dip fits any potluck or summer cookout table with sliced vegetables and warm pita. Drain the pepperoncini well before chopping, since extra brine thins the dip and wrecks the texture.

FAQs

Can I make pepperoncini dip ahead of time?

Make it the morning before your party and refrigerate it, since the flavor gets better after 4 to 6 hours as the pepperoncini brine seasons the yogurt base. Just give it a quick stir before setting it out.

What can I serve with pepperoncini dip?

Crackers, pita chips, and sliced raw vegetables like celery, bell peppers, and carrots all work well. It also doubles as a spread for sandwiches or a topping for grilled chicken burgers.

Can I use hot pepperoncini instead of mild?

Mild pepperoncini give the dip its signature tangy, briny flavor without much heat. If you want more kick, keep the mild pepperoncini and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce instead.

How long does pepperoncini dip last in the fridge?

Stored in an airtight container, the dip keeps for up to 5 days in the fridge. Give it a stir before serving since the yogurt can separate slightly after a day or two.

What is the best substitute for Greek yogurt in this dip?

Sour cream is the easiest swap: use the same 1 cup amount and the dip will be a bit richer and tangier. Regular yogurt is too thin on its own, but you can strain it through cheesecloth for about 2 hours to get a similar thickness.
