Artichoke Dip Recipe

Artichoke Dip Recipe

This hot cheesy dip is perfect for any type of social gathering and has featured at many parties thrown at my house. It’s a delicious blend of artichoke, a little garlic and grated cheese plus some mayonnaise or olive oil, and it tastes absolutely amazing and is so easy to make

I am one of those people who always has a stocked cupboard filled with food. There are a number of reasons for this, mainly that I hate going to the supermarket so I stock up when I can. Secondly, I find it hard to pass up a bargain when my favorite foods are on special and finally because I hate to not have any thing at hand to serve any family or friends who might drop in to visit. My daughter and her friends actually call me a Doomsday Prepper. They are probably correct as I think we would survive for years if ever there was a zombie invasion. Artichoke hearts is one item that I always have in my cupboard, so this dip is something that I can whip up quickly should you ever turn up on my doorstep.

Variations

I have given you quite a few variations on how to make this dip so that hopefully you too can whip up a miracle with what products you have at hand. I have created the published recipe with mayonnaise because I always have it in the fridge but you could make it replacing the mayonnaise with olive oil, tahini, sour cream or cream cheese. This also means that this dip can be made egg free for anyone with a sensitivity to eggs.

If you want to try making your own mayonnaise, try this really easy recipe for The Good Fat Mayonnaise. It’s fail proof and takes literally minutes to make and isn’t made with unhealthy oils, added sugars and preservatives. Once you start making this you will never buy mayonnaise again.

Smooth or Chunky

You can make this dip either smooth or chunky. I like it smoother as I am a bit lazy and find it easy to just blitz it all in a food processor but if you want to hand chop the artichoke it works out just as well. That is one of the things I love about this, aside from the taste; that it takes no time at all to make. Are you seeing a theme with many of my recipes…..if there is a shortcut to creating a recipe, I will find it. So here it is, a quick and easy dip that tastes absolutely amazing and is healthy.
