Get your chips, crackers and pita bread ready people. It’s time for scooping, crunching and inappropriately stuffing your face with Cilantro White Bean Artichoke Dip.
I love the cilantro garlic lemon combination. Then you add in cumin and BAM! Cumin has a very distinctive and potent flavor. It adds the perfect amount of SMACK-me-in-the-face…this is now dippin-licious good!
This dip is easy and quick. Just toss all the ingredients in your food processor (I used KitchenAid) and blend to the consistency of your liking. Easy peasy lemon squeezy, right?! This goes well as a side dish to kabobs. More on that later.
Today, however, I’m making this for what it was originally created for…a lazy night (aka every night). I don’t mind me a bowl of this yummy stuff, crackers and a glass of wine or a cold beer every night.
Speaking of every night. You can use 1 garlic clove if you don’t want the dip to be too garlicky. I add the 2 for I am an avid garlic lover (if you haven’t figured it out yet) ← HELLO garlic breath!
That’s why I always have some chewing gum handy. You just never know when garlic will show up to the party. Because when it does, count me in! If, for some reason, no gum is to be found, I make sure the people around me are also eating garlic as well. For garlic isn’t a problem if everyone else is eating too, right? Unless you intentionally want to be left alone for the next 3 days, in that case, I say go ahead and add in 3! 🙂

Lol, I can’t totally relate with being a garlic fan. Totally used to the garlic breath, and I’m probably that one woman you can depend on when you want some mint. I always have a pack of mint in my bag! Anyhow, gosh. I love how you have lots of ideas for dips. I am so lazy I usually just use those store bought ones, which one is overpriced, two is usually unhealthy. Please do share more good dip recipes, Christine! Would love to read more of those.
*I can…. Sorry for my typo! 🙂
Thanks for the comment, Cheska! I love your name! 🙂 But isn’t garlic breath the best?! Until someone tells us otherwise. LOL I agree on the unhealthy store bought dips. I will definitely share more dip recipes!
