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.
Serve balsamic bread dip with Quick and Easy, No Knead Bread!

I made this for a party and immediately made a second batch. It’s so delicious and easy to make! I served with homemade focaccia & only used 2 large cloves of garlic. Great recipe!
This recipe is amazing and a huge hit with crusty homemade bread! I reduce the garlic down and use fresh basil (not a rosemary fan) and it’s perfect! I’ve used sour cream in a pinch when I don’t have yogurt. Thank you for all of your recipes!
Absolutely delicious! I made it as stated, but found the garlic too much after letting the flavours mingle for a bit. I just did what some others did and add more of the yogurt and mayo. It was a hit…even by those who don’t like yogurt. Thank you.
