Vegan Artichoke Dip

Ingredients

1 jar (12 oz / 340 g) oil-packed marinated artichoke hearts – $3.79

1 can (14 oz / 400 g) white beans, drained and rinsed – $0.50

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – $0.04

1/2 teaspoon onion powder – $0.04

1/2 teaspoon salt – $0.01

2 – 3 tablespoons of oil from the jar of marinated artichoke hearts

Optional for garish: your favourite herb additional chopped artichoke hearts, an extra drizzle of oil.

Directions

Drain the jar of artichoke hearts, reserving the oil. Roughly chop the hearts into smallish chunks (like what you’d find in a dip).

Place the beans, half of the chopped artichoke hearts, garlic and onion powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small food processor. Blend until totally smooth.

If you want it a bit thinner, add another tablespoon of oil. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

Transfer to a bowl and stir in the other half of the chopped artichoke hearts.

Garnish as desired and serve with your favourite dipper.
