Who knew that cold artichoke dip could be such a hit? Even kids love it—mine sure do! This easy recipe blends tender canned artichoke hearts, creamy cheese, and fresh chives for a delicious Mediterranean-inspired flavour. Serve it with veggies or crackers for a simple, crowd-pleasing snack!

Easy Breezy Dip

It’s a dip with cream cheese, so be careful with the salt you add; make sure you try it before. The artichokes are blended first with the lime juice to smooth them before adding the cream cheese. We want to get the taste of the artichoke, but note the harsh texture.

Health Benefits of Artichokes

One of the only “flower” veggies we can consume, artichokes are filled with health benefits! Yes! Artichokes are actual flower buds and are beneficial to your health. For example, it’s suggested that it helps people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, improves liver health, lowers bad cholesterol, and so much more. Check it out here for more information.

Artichokes are nutrient-packed vegetables, often used in extract form to support digestion. While they’re a fantastic ingredient, canned artichokes come in a salty brine, so be mindful when adding extra salt to your dip!

Serve with

It’s such a polyvalent dip; it goes with so many dishes. Here are a few:

Crunchy veggies like carrots, cucumber sticks, celery or bell pepper.
Crackers, tortilla chips or salted biscuits.
An actual steamed or roasted artichoke.
Fresh or rye bread with a lovely smoked or marinated salmon on top.
French fries or roasted potatoes.

Variations

I saw this dip eaten warm or cold, some with spinach. You can add some if you desire, but I’ve added fresh parsley and chives, which bring a fresh touch.

Storage

This dip can easily be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap. For more extended storage, you can also freeze it!
