On a recent trip to Michigan to visit my sister, we strolled over to a cozy little restaurant, grabbed a spot outside, and ordered her favorite hot artichoke dip. She’d been raving about this dip for ages, so I was excited to finally try it—we both have a way of getting hooked on certain foods!
Naturally, we wanted to know what made it so good, so we asked the waitress for the scoop. She wasn’t totally sure, but she guessed there might be cucumber in it, which gave us a good giggle. No, there was no cucumber in the dip.
After that trip, I was determined to recreate the dip. I tested it over and over, serving it to friends at a football gathering, my neighborhood girls’ night, and even my tennis crew. Taking everyone’s feedback, I finally landed on the perfect recipe. It’s deliciously creamy, simple to make, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. I can’t wait for you to try it!
