Mamacita’s Warm Artichoke + Olive Dip Recipe
Umm, can we talk about something for a second? Just you and me?
Having a dip moment where all I want is dip and something to dip into the dip. Warm dips, cool dips, chunky or smooth dips, I love them all the same (exclusion: spicy hummus beats bowls of anything else, always). Is there such thing as a dipaholic? I could quite possibly be bordering dipoholism. Hi, I’m Cayla and I’m a dipaholic. I see this in my near future. Anywayz Ty and I went home to the best coast for a wedding a couple weeks ago, and my dear ole mamacita Laurie Lee whipped up a “Thanksgiving” esque din din for us when we arrived, as I’ll be spending T-day with the Atha fam this year. Along with a turkey breast and stuffing came this amazeatron dip that reminded me of artichoke spinach dip, minus the spinach, with a hint of tangy saltiness from an olive tapenade mixed in. This dip packs some punch and is so, so simple to make. Dippers unite!
