Feta Artichoke Dip Ingredients
This artichoke dip features all the normal ingredients you expect to see. We just spruced it up with a few additions to make it extra tasty! Here’s everything you’ll need:
Artichoke hearts – Keep things easy with canned varieties. Just make sure they’re roughly chopped and drained. Feta – Use a block of creamy, full-fat feta. Greek yogurt – Whole milk Greek yogurt will make this artichoke dip extra smooth and creamy. Use a plain, unflavored version for a delicious tangy taste. Scallions – Include both the white and green parts for a sharp, spicy flavor. Garlic – Everything tastes better with garlic! Use two fresh cloves. Fresh parsley – Small but mighty, just a sprinkle helps lighten the dish, balancing out the savory ingredients and heaviness of the fats. Sun-dried tomatoes – Bright sun-dried tomatoes take this dip from good to great with their beautiful color and sweet, tangy taste! Extra virgin olive oil – Any olive oil will work in this artichoke dip recipe, but I love the rich, pungent flavor of our Early Harvest EVOO. It complements the bold ingredients perfectly! Red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper – Just a dash adds the perfect amount of heat. If you’ve never tried it, check out our Aleppo pepper here! Its spicy, slightly sweet, fruity taste pairs incredibly well with the sun-dried tomatoes for the best feta artichoke dip you’ll ever taste!
How to Make Artichoke Dip
This artichoke dip with feta may taste gourmet, but it’s really pretty easy to make. The only hard part is waiting for it to finish baking! I recommend brewing a cup of Arabic mint tea while you wait to help pass the time.
Break up the feta. Add the feta to a mixing bowl, and break it up into small pieces. I’ve found using the back of a fork or a potato masher is the easiest way to do this! Combine the ingredients. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl of crumbled feta, adding a drizzle of olive oil and red pepper flakes on top. Then, stir everything up with a spoon until the ingredients are well combined. Bake the artichoke dip. Transfer the mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet or an 8×8 square baking dish, and place it in the center rack of your heated oven. Now, all that’s left to do is sip on your tea and wait for it to get hot and bubbly! Serve. Carefully remove your dip from the oven, and serve it right away with a side of pita chips, crackers, or even veggie sticks!
