Our wonderful family friend is a whiz in the kitchen and it was always a happy day growing up when she came delivering leftover dinner for the Bailey clan to sample! She originally invented this dip as a copycat version of our favorite bread dip from Grappa on Main Street in Park City. It is so bold and flavorful! It has since become a staple appetizer for family dinners, parties, or any occasion.
What I LOVE about this bread dip:
- It's Easy! So easy that you just add these 7 ingredients to a food processor and combine. That's it! No chopping or other prep work required!
- It's Unique– this bread dip is a stand-out and guests always ask for the recipe!
How to Make Balsamic Bread Dip:
Gather your ingredients:
- Garlic
- Mayonnaise
- Greek Yogurt
- Balsamic vinegar
- Fresh rosemary
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Mix: Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and mix until smooth.
It's easy to prepare the bread dip in advance (1-2 days is fine!) and I think it tastes even better when the flavors have had a chance to blend.

Perfect for our New Years evening of Appetizers!
So yummy, did sour cream instead of yogurt. Turned out great. I think this will become a new favorite for appetizers.
Thank you!!
This was delish!!! Everyone loved it! Will definitely make again and again!
This is good, but insanely spicy! Could I had cream or equal parts mayo and yogurt to tone it down.
Just curious – what was spicy about it? There’s no sort of pepper or anything to create spice that I can see from the recipe.
The balsamic can have a little bit of a “bite” to it. So can the garlic (which could be blanched first to help with this). My kids (ages 7,5,3) love this dip.
Probably the raw garlic. I just made it and it’s really spicy! I know it’s because of the raw garlic. I should have roasted it first or used powder.
So delicious! Everyone loved it!!! I served it with crostini’s as the bread selection was weak. Went great with it. We were dipping celery sticks in there too. Thanks!
I used roasted garlic , yummy
Could I use sour cream rather than the Greek yogurt?
Sure, that would be fine.
How was it with sour cream? Grocery store shelves are scarce right now and I don’t think strawberry flavored yogurt will work lol 😃
I just packed my blender away because im moving, could i wisk it together?
Yes, sure–just be sure to finely mince the rosemary and the garlic.
Is this served cold?
Yes 🙂
Always a yummy!
