I don’t think I’ve ever met an artichoke dip I didn’t like. Especially because they’re typically super creamy, cheesy, and warm!

So when I attempted to create a lighter version of this deliciousness for an Easter dinner appetizer, I was thrilled that I still liked it. In fact, I loved it! This light artichoke lemon dip is still creamy, cheesy, and warm—but unlike most others, it’s light, it’s fresh, and it won’t fill you up before the main course. I don’t know about you, but this is exactly the sort of scrumptious snack I want to share with my guests to get them excited for the courses to follow.
Enjoy!
