Appetizers are the best part of entertaining. Seriously, small bites are so tasty, work well with our little friends Mr. cracker and Mr. chip, and you often make them with some sort of cheese!
It's fun when you can find one that's delicious, pretty healthy, vegetarian, and can be made in less than 5 minutes!
Entertaining made simple for sure!

Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make this Mediterranean dip.
- Jar of roasted red peppers - we often get a jar at Trader Joe's.
- Jar of marinated artichoke hearts - again, we pick them up from Trader Joe's.
- Fresh Italian parsley - stems removed.
- Parmesan cheese - freshly grated parm is best.
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic - fresh garlic, chopped or minced.
- Lemon juice - freshly squeezed.
- Salt and pepper
The full ingredient list is found in the printable recipe card below.
Directions
- Add all the ingredients to your food processor or blender.
- Pulse for a minute or so until the mixture becomes the texture of chunky pesto.
- Place in a serving bowl or store to enjoy later!
How to serve red pepper dip
- It's easy to serve this red pepper tapenade with warm pita bread, pita chips, or crackers.
- Use it for a dip for fresh veggies or over roasted vegetables.
- Spread it over toasted Italian bread for a quick and easy bruschetta.
- Use it as a sauce for Baked Chicken Tenders or over grilled chicken.
We've even put it over pasta for a quick dinner! Love that it's also a healthy food recipe, so you don't feel guilty eating it all in one sitting!
The flavors blend together even better overnight, so it's yummier the next day. Make it ahead or save some for later. Either way, it's good!
Recipe tips and tricks
- This is a wonderful make-ahead dip. It will actually be better the next day as the flavors meld together.
- Roasted Red Pepper and Artichoke Dip will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.

- To Store - refrigerate leftover dip in an airtight storage container for up to 4 days.

These are some of my very favorite flavors and all together in a super-easy make-ahead dip?! Yes please! I'm definitely putting this on the menu for our next get together and just hoping I can resist eating it ALL before the guests arrive 😉 Yummed and pinned!
Erin says
Yep, this one doesn't last long. I tend to have a hard time leaving it for the guests as well. I solve that with a double batch. Some for now, some for later 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Kathryn!
Regina L. L. Wells says
Erin, I love this combination, especially the little zing of the capers. I think it's going to be hard to let this meld overnight even though I can imagine how delicious it would be if I could let it sit. LOL!Pinned!
Erin says
Yes, the capers add the right amount of zing...as does the garlic. I love this stuff leftover, so sometimes I make a double batch 🙂
Ilka says
This dip sounds amazing Erin! Yum!
Erin says
I love your daughter's comment! 🙂 I would probably have to do that with my family too - just change the naming to Amazingly Delicious Dip or something like that! 😉 Pinned!
Erin says
Yep, just calling it something else makes the kids more likely to eat it...how funny! I love this dip. Made it last night to put on a rice bowl. Thanks for coming by, Erin!
