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.
