If you are looking for the perfect appetizer recipe for a holiday party or snack at this year’s super bowl party, this artichoke dip recipe is definitely the one you need to reach for! Spinach artichoke dip is a favorite in my house for a hot dip but this creamy artichoke dip is on the table in 5 minutes and served chilled as a dip for veggies, crackers or chips!
Ingredients in Artichoke Dip
CREAM CHEESE gives this dip its creamy base. I make this without sour cream (and just a touch of mayonnaise) although you could add them to your liking.
PARMESAN adds just a hint of flavor and pairs well with this dip. Again, we add just a small amount so the true flavor is artichoke.
ARTICHOKES I use either canned or marinated, both work in this recipe. Canned is a bit more simple in flavor where as marinated artichokes are often marinated in olive oil with seasonings. Alternately, you can cook from fresh to use in this recipe.
GARLIC Use a clove of fresh garlic for this (not the jarred kind) for best results. Garlic powder will do in a pinch.
Variations
I absolutely love the simplicity of this dip and consider it to be perfect for my tastes. To change it up, you can add any of the following:
-
- chopped sundried tomatoes
- pimentos or roasted red peppers
- diced jalapenos
- fresh herbs
- lemon zest or juice
