From her viral sheet pan lasagna<\/a> to tiramisu<\/a>, she has elevated the art of the weeknight meal. Her cooking style makes even the loftiest dishes feel super accessible, and she's also known for putting fun spins on the classics.\r\n\r\nThis latest recipe rework turns a Caprese salad<\/a> into\u2014wait for it\u2014a dip! Here's how to make and enjoy a Caprese dip, courtesy of Giada.\r\n

What's in her Caprese dip?<\/h2>\r\nThe three-ingredient summertime staple is as basic as it gets: Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then sprinkled with salt and pepper. Just reading that description makes me want to drink an Aperol spritz<\/a>.\r\n\r\nGiada has tweaked the ingredients to make the flavor profile more appropriate for cold weather. She uses whole-milk ricotta cheese and canned cherry tomatoes to create a creamy base, then tops it with torn basil leaves and balsamic vinegar.\r\n
