I had a tin of artichokes on hand, and was craving dip, so I went searching through our recipe archives. I stumbled across this white bean artichoke dip from way back in 2006, and decided to whip it up!
This simple white bean artichoke dip recipe has a mild flavor that goes well as a dip or spread. Feel free to spice it up with a little curry, cayenne, or your favorite blend. It’s a very forgiving backdrop for various flavors. That said, I enjoy huge, healthy scoops of this artichoke dip as is or even served chunky-style atop a salad.
My picture shows the “chunky” version. If you are looking for a dip for vegetables, you might want to go with with the puree or less chunky option.
