Why This Recipe Works

Who doesn’t like a simple, 5 ingredient recipe? Especially one so delicious! This is the perfect throw together appetizer for an impromptu dinner with friends, or an easy one to bring to a family gathering.

Pesto is a flavorful bomb in itself. Mixed with cream cheese, parm, and artichoke hearts makes it a cozy party in your belly.

Dip Ingredients

Artichoke Hearts

Technically a thistle, artichoke hearts are a nutritious and delicious option to add into dishes. They’re low in fat, high in fiber, and packed with vitamins like C, K, and folate, along with minerals like phosphorus and magnesium.

As a rich source of antioxidants, artichokes come fresh, canned, or frozen. For a healthier choice, opt for unmarinated artichoke hearts, allowing you to control the fat content. If using canned whole artichokes, chop them for this dip.

Pesto

Vibrant and full of fresh flavor, pesto is one of my favorite condiments. It’s savory and herbaceous with a hint of creaminess and a bright, slightly tangy finish. Buy it already prepared or whip up a batch if you are growing basil.

Don’t waste the pesto! It freezes well, put pesto into smaller Tupperware containers. However, there are lots of options to use up that jar of pesto:

• Pesto Salad Dressing
• use as a pizza sauce
• Chicken with Pesto
• mix into Greek yogurt for a no-bake veggie dip
• Creamy Pesto Shrimp Pasta

Cheese

This recipe calls for 2 kinds of cheese. Cream cheese brings the creamy tanginess, while Parmesan brings a salty nutty kick.

Greek Yogurt

A good source of protein, plain Greek yogurt helps bind this dip together. Use 2% or 5% for the best flavor.

How to Make

The most important thing to remember about this recipe is to pull out your cream cheese and let it come to room temp. Soft cream cheese makes life easier. If you have that down, the rest is a piece of cake.

1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2. Place in dish
3. Bake until golden brown.

Make this dip your own by adding in your favorite spices. Here are some herby options for you:

• thyme
• rosemary
• garlic
• basil
• red pepper flake

My favorite add-ins are fresh garlic and thyme.

What To Dip?

The vehicle you choose to get this dip to your mouth is important. You don’t want just any old cracker. Here are some of my favorites:

• pita crackers
• roasted sweet potato rounds
• zucchini slices
• tortilla chips
• mini bell peppers cut in half

What Else Can You Make with Artichoke Pesto Dip?

Stuffed Chicken Breast

This creamy goodness is not only delicious as a dip, but also as a condiment. Place a dollop of the artichoke pesto combo on top of grilled chicken breasts. Or if you’re feeling fancy, make a slit in the side of the breast and stuff it with the dip before baking.

Pasta Dish

Artichoke Pesto Dip is sensational with pasta too. Save back some pasta water to thin out the dip into a sauce and you have yourself a tasty main dish. Add in fresh spinach with the pasta for healthy bonus points.
