Dip for the Stars

Recipe #216846 | 1½ hours | 20 min prep | SERVES 30 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: FLUFFSTER

Here's a delectable layered dip that will win you "brownie" points! It calls for dry vermouth, but it can be left out or substituted with rice wine vinegar, or even the seasoned rice wine vinegar. Either way, it's delicious! This is party sized, but you can re-size it with no problem. Times are approximate, and do include the refrigeration.

    This is a fabulous spread I found on another website. It is very unusual, colorful and tastes amazing! I halved the recipe and it was plenty. It is wonderful for a wine-tasting party. I served it with toasted baguette slices. I drained the sundried tomatoes and pesto because the oil tends to "pool" on the serving plate.
