We can all but guarantee this four-ingredient dip will become a party staple in your house. For the right final consistency and rich flavor, use oil-based giardiniera (also called Chicago-style) rather than a vinegar-based variety, which allows the giardiniera to seamlessly blend into the silky cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan mixture.

Parmesan, finely grated (about ½ cup), and ½ cup sour cream in a food processor until combined and smooth; season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Add 1 cup drained coarsely chopped oil-based giardiniera and pulse until incorporated but dip is not completely smooth.

Do Ahead: Dip (without toppings) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
