How Do You Make Quick and Easy Artichoke Dip?
Open and drain a 13.75 ounce can of quartered artichoke hearts.
Note: When reviewing the recipe, please be aware that while you will buy a 13.75 ounce can of artichoke hearts you will only use 8.75 ounces once drained.
Grate Parmesan cheese and roughly chop parsley. Measure mayo and cream cheese. Add all ingredients to your food processor bowl. Juice half lemon into food processor bowl and zest lemon half.

Pulse all ingredients at low speed until blended. Scrape sides of bowl once and pulse again on low for a few seconds.
Spoon blended dip into serving or storage bowl. Be sure to scrape the edges with a spatula; waste not want not!

Serve dip immediately or chill to serve later. Garnish with additional lemon zest and parsley immediately before serving if desired.
