- 1 (12oz jar) of marinated artichokes, drained not rinsed
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1 pinch of red pepper flakes
- ½ cup arugula leaves
Optional:
- Add 1 ice cube or 1-2 tablespoons of ice water for extra creaminess
In your high speed blender, combine the drained marinated artichoke hearts, avocado, garlic cloves, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Blend until you reach a creamy texture that’s perfect for dipping. Don’t over-process.
Add in fresh arugula leaves and blend again. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
Optional: Blend in one ice cube or 1-2 tablespoons of ice water for the ultimate creamy dip.
To keep this dip fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply give it a good stir to recombine any separated oils. For the best results, do not freeze.
