LEMON-BASIL ARTICHOKE BEAN DIP & BASIL PITA CHIPS



Lemon-Basil Artichoke Bean Dip & Basil Pita Chips image

This dip is so bright and refreshing. You get a mouth-watering zing from the lemon and artichokes, but you get heartiness and creaminess from the beans. Fresh basil provides a sort of aromatic sweetness, and a little asiago provides saltiness. It's the perfect balance of everything, creating an ultra-tangy and smooth dip that is bursting with multiple levels of flavor. Now, we're getting real fancy today: we're making our own pita chips. No, don't be deceived. Homemade pita chips are easy-peasy, and you can make 'em in about 10 minutes.
