Artichoke Goat Cheese Dip |
I’ve mentioned before my love for the grocery store Aldi,
which seems to be on quite the fame ride right now. Everywhere I turn I’m
seeing blog posts praising the store or reading articles about awards Aldi has
been winning. I’m not at all surprised—I truly think many people have carried
misconceptions about the low-cost grocery store and are finally realizing that
it’s actually a brilliant business model!
While I’m not new to the store, I was surprised to discover
the array of recipes on Aldi’s website. They have quite a few interesting and
innovative ideas in all sorts of food categories, and all of them feature
products found at Aldi. This artichoke dip was the first I tried, but after its
great success, there are several more I intend to test.
It doesn’t get much easier than this appetizer—add a few
ingredients to the food process or blender, process/blend, and serve! I’m
perfectly content to eat goat cheese by itself, but transforming it into a
creamy dip (that includes Greek yogurt and artichokes!) made for a tasty and
relatively healthy appetizer. Serve it with veggies, chips, or your favorite
crackers!
