Sometimes (i.e often) I come across a recipe I can’t stop thinking about.

This artichoke arugula dip has haunted my waking thoughts since it came across my for-you-page on TikTok, courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. I like that it’s simple, mayo-free while also being utterly addictive. But especially love how everything gets thrown into a food processor and is ready in literal minutes.

This dip is dependable for lazy afternoons on the boat, relaxing by the pool or taken on a comforting picnic. Or as a late night snack straight out of the fridge. There’s truly no wrong scenario to enjoy this creamy dip!

Personally, Worth keeping it with toasted pita or naan, but also works as a flavor bomb in sandwiches and wraps!
