Notes
- Spinach option: Replace the baby kale with 5 ounces of baby spinach.
- Adjust the heat: Leave out the jalapeño for a mild dip. For some heat without as much spice, remove the seeds and membranes.
- Drain the artichokes: Removing as much excess liquid as possible helps keep the dip thick and creamy.
- Optional cheesy topping: Transfer the finished dip to an oven-safe dish, top with shredded mozzarella, and broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dip ahead of time, refrigerate it, then warm before serving.
