Artichoke dip

There are many recipes for artichoke dip, but most of them can be traced back to a few key ingredients. Artichokes, mayonnaise, and Parmesan cheese are the most common ingredients in artichoke dip recipes.

The earliest known recipe for artichoke dip was published in The New York Times in September of 1970. This recipe, which is still used today, calls for artichokes, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.

Since then, many variations of artichoke dip have been created. Some recipes call for cream cheese, sour cream, or yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Others add spices like cayenne pepper, paprika, or basil.

Advice

When making artichoke dip, it is important to use quality ingredients. Start by using canned artichokes that are packed in water, not oil. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mayonnaise, as the pre-shredded cheese and low-fat mayonnaise do not have the same flavor. Make sure to give the artichokes a thorough drain before adding them to the dip. Lastly, always taste the dip before serving it to make sure it has the right balance of flavors.
