Easy Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
Everyone needs a delicious, dependable dip in their appetizer arsenal. This one is sure to satisfy, and couldn't be simpler to make.
You could say it's a cousin to hummus, because we're keeping the tahini (obviously) but swapping the chickpeas for creamy cannellini beans. They add a particularly silky texture to the dip without masking any of the other flavors.
Tahini adds an extra layer of nutty depth and unctuous creaminess. I use Soom brand tahini, which always blends beautifully into anything I'm adding it to. *Code dishingouthealth saves you 10% at checkout!*
The Mediterranean influence of this dip comes from two of my most reliable pantry staples: jarred artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. Each is armed with their own element of bright, briny flavor and sweetness.
I love keeping these on hand to effortlessly elevate salads, spreads, and sandwiches.
Ingredient note: Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes are much more tender than dry-packed varieties. Plus, the oil from the jar adds a flavorful finishing touch to the dip.
You can prepare this all-purpose dip up to 3 days ahead, making it perfect for easy entertaining. All you need is a blender or food processor, plus some hungry guests!
And if you end up with leftovers, you can covert the dip into a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Alternatively, you can thin it out with extra lemon juice and turn it into a salad dressing.
Make-Ahead and Storage Tips:
- Make-Ahead: Dip can be made up to 3 days ahead.
- To Store. Refrigerate dip in an airtight container with plastic pressed over the dip's surface for 3 days.

This is terrific and easy. I added some fresh garlic because I love it and it's got a little zip. I added a pinch of cayenne too.
Thanks for a healthy recipe.
