Prep Time

Ingredients
-
1 (18.34 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained well
- 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves
- 3 cups packed baby arugula, roughly chopped
- 1 cup packed basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, from 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshy squeezed lemon juice, from 1/2 a lemon
-
1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
In a food processor combine the artichoke hearts and garlic. Pulse until the artichokes are roughly chopped. Add the arugula, basil, lemon zest and salt. Pulse again to combine the ingredients and chop roughly the same size. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and pulse a few more times until desired texture or the consistency of a thick dip. Serve with crackers, crudite, chips, on a crostini, or as a pasta sauce loosened with some pasta water.

5 ⭐️’s from my family!!! Quick, easy and delicious!
Would you consider publishing this with gram weights for the arugula and basil? Mine turned out much looser and greener than the photos (and the demo video on social media), and I had to add some toasted breadcrumbs to get closer to the pictured texture.
Delicious! I served with cut veg and homemade outa chips.
