Artichoke dip

Artichoke dip with pita bread

Artichoke dip is a dip that uses artichoke as a primary ingredient.[1][2] Some versions are served chunky, while others are puréed and have a smooth texture.[3][4] It may be served as an hors d'oeuvre along with crackers or chips for dipping.[5] Commercially prepared artichoke dips are produced for consumer purchase. It has been described as "one of the most popular appetizer menu items of all time".[6]
