This Artichoke Dip recipe is super simple to make and addicting. It takes about 20 minutes tops in just one pan to create this tasty dip!

Kale and Artichoke Dip

Artichoke Dip

Warm and creamy Artichoke Dip! I cannot find the words to express how dawg-on good this was. Like stop-the-presses-slap-yo’-momma good. It’s basically just like spinach and artichoke dip but with kale because kale is all the rage these days. Anyways, this is super simple to make–takes maybe 20 minutes tops in just one pan. And, if you wanted to make it ahead, it stores perfectly in the fridge…or oven for that matter. Store it cold, store it warm…whatevs. It’s all good. Perfection for an afternoon snack, party appetizer, or part of a light dinner.

Artichoke Dip Recipe

How to Make Artichoke Dip

Start by sautéing some onions in some butter. All good things in life start with butter. {see this recipe.}

Artichoke Dip Recipe

After the onions have softened a bit, grate in some garlic using this handy dandy little grater.

Artichoke Dip Recipe

Once the garlic has become fragrant, toss in some baby kale. You can chop it beforehand or chop it later once it’s all cooked OR just leave the leaves big…totally up to you.

Artichoke Dip Recipe

About 2 minutes later, your kale should be all wilty and yummy with those onions and garlic so we’ll add in cream cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper.

Artichoke Dip Recipe

Stir that all around to melt the cream cheese and add in some chopped marinated artichoke hearts. I LOVE these. I bought two giant jars of these at Costco the other day and haven’t looked back since. #smartestideaever

Artichoke Dip

You only need 3 more things before this dip is done and you can shovel it right into your mouth. First is some parmesan cheese. Grate it in right over the pan. This little lover did a great job at the whole grating thing.

Next is some cheddar. Love love love me some cheddar.

And then the last thing you need is a little heavy cream to thin the whole thing out. Add as much or as little as you’d like.

Artichoke Dip

For me, this was just about perfect. Not too thick, not too thin. Taste and adjust your seasonings too. *Important*

Artichoke Dip

And here she blows! Moment of truth! Spoon the dip into a bowl and serve.

Artichoke Dip

I had crackers and carrots on hand, so that’s what we ate with this.

Artichoke Dip

The ritz crackers were my fav with this. But I think it has to do with ritz being a very buttery cracker. I like butter.

Gord and I finished this off single-handedly over the weekend cause it was THAT good. Super creamy, flavorful and divine! Enjoy this one guys!

    I love using a zester for citrus items, but also for garlic, nutmeg and hard cheeses. Easy to use, and I love that I can toss them in the dishwasher! :0)

    Liked you on FB and Pinterest! The links for Edgeware weren’t working.

    I would make the Warm Kale & Artichoke Dip! A friend just cut me some fresh baby kale from her garden yesterday and I had it in my smoothie this morning! It was a beautiful green and so good with my homemade Greek yogurt and fruit. 😀

    We don’t have a zester or grater right now and we’re really missing them both! I’d probably make my husband a fancy quesadilla with grated cheese on it. I’d quickly follow that up with cranberry sauce with lemon and orange zest in it.

    Hi Lauren!
    I would make your breakfast cookies with it, and grate the carrot into the batter. I like you on facebook and follow you on pinterest. Your banana whole wheat waffles are a Sunday staple in our house. Kids love them, and so do I.

    Well, I really want to make this dip, but I would probably use the graters and zesters to make lasagna, because I can eat it for days and I have a really busy week ahead. Great giveaway. But really, I need to make this dip. Yummy.

    I love a good zester and grater! I would use my new zester {if I won} to zest a lemon for my favorite cold salad/side dish. {Haricot Verts, Feta, Lemon juice and Lemon Zest} The lemon zest adds so much flavor!

    I would make lemon zest cupcakes. I am testing a bunch of cake recipes for my wedding – I’m making my own cupcakes and I’m on the hunt for the best ones. if you’re giving away a treadmill, I’ll take that too 🙂 My workouts had to be more intense as I started to consume more cupcakes, lol. My fiance’s work colleagues are loving me 🙂

    For starters, I would try making this recipe for Warm Kale and Artichoke Dip. I’d like to try grating garlic! Another recipe I love to make is Lemon Bars. I’d need a good zester for that one!

    Baby Kale?? Can I just tell you how jealous I am?? I like that you used the kale in this instead of spinach – I bet it adds an awesome intensity to the dip.

    I am quite partial to spinach and artichoke dips. In fact, if it’s on the menu, you can pretty much count on me ordering it as a starter. This looks like a fun and delicious variation on that and I am very excited to give it a try. Thanks Lauren!

    Gorgeous dip, Lauren. I can’t wait to make this and slather it on everything, especially on carrots. I try to eat carrots when I feel like indulging in cake or something but they really don’t taste all that good. But I’m sure the dip will most definitely help.

    As for the giveaway, the first thing I’d make is tangerine beef with glass noodles, which involves lots of tangerine zest as you could imagine!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
