Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip

May 17, 2020 By Patricia 26 Comments

Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip is perfect to dip into with toasted bread, crackers, and veggie sticks, too. You’ll love the lemony, peppery flavors, and the creaminess of this delightful dip!

You'll want to make this Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip soon!

So yeah, Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip is party food. Delicious party food! I don’t have any upcoming parties planned – well, at least none with guests aside from my husband and dog! But, hey: Sometimes you just need some party food, no matter who shows up.

I’ve been seeing a lot of recipes for fresh artichokes lately, so they’ve been on my mind. Actually, they’ve been on my mind since January when my mom was visiting.

Just before she left to head back to Ohio, she found some fab California artichokes at the grocery store. She actually made us go back to buy up a bunch so she could take them home! “I never find them so nice in Ohio,” she declared!

Are you a fan of fabulous dips? Then you’ll love these:

  • Creamy Green Goddess Dip
  • Roasted Eggplant Dip with Easy Garlic Pita Chips
  • Easy Everything Hummus with Homemade Seasoning 

My mom has a great recipe for stuffed artichokes that, unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to make before she left town. So until we’re back together with some good, fresh artichokes on hand, this dip does well!

Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip

I was heavy handed with the lemon juice and the red and black pepper, but that’s just me. You do this dip the way you like!

The olives will add a nice bit of saltiness to the dip. I used two types of olives: Manzanilla pimento-stuffed olives and black Kalamata olives. You can grab these at the grocery store as an assortment (typically at the olive bar, but now pre-packaged for sale).

I rough chop the olives and a few of the artichoke hearts to add to the mixture just before transferring it to a serving dish. This gives good texture to the dip.

FYI: Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip is even tastier after it sits in the fridge for a bit. I snuck a few tastes right away, but popped it in the fridge for about an hour before serving it.

Whether it’s party time for a few or more, you’ll enjoy this Lemony Artichoke-Olive Dip served with veggies, crackers, or toasted bread. It’s so flavorful! Do you think you’ll try it soon?

    I have always shied away from artichokes because I've always felt they were too labor-intensive. You've made them more approachable here.

    I need to make this for the next girl's day I have with my sister. We both love artichokes and olives, and lighter-tasting dishes, and our husbands... not so much ahah. This sounds perfect for us to enjoy with a glass of wine!

    I'm all about party food right now if it brings something a little fun or different into life these days! I made nachos recently even though it's just me and my husband.

    If I'm being completely honest right now, I don't know if I've ever had artichokes before I've got a pretty wide palette though, so I can't see myself having any real problem with them - plus I love EVERY other item in this recipe, so I'm sure putting them all together would make a real delicious treat I'll have to get around to trying them someday!

      Thank you, Indya! I used artichoke hearts for this recipe - easier to get your hands on since they come canned or jarred! Hope you give this a try sometime!
