We add a Mediterranean and healthy twist to this traditional appetizer and fantastic party dish. In our version, instead of cream cheese and mayonnaise, we substitute in our Organic Artichoke Spread which does double duty of giving the dip a creamy and smooth texture, while at the same time bolstering the artichoke flavor. We also add a little smokey spice with chipotle sauce, but this is optional and depends on personal taste.
Our Artichoke Spread is organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, and apt for both vegetarians and vegans.
