Artichoke Dip - 4g Carbs, 2g Fiber, 1g Sugar
From: www.drgourmet.
This is one of my favorite dips, but I always feel the flavor of the
artichokes is lost in recipes that have tons of salt and fat. I like
to taste the artichokes. This version balances the cheesy, creamy flavor
so the artichokes are front and center.
Most canned or bottled artichoke hearts contain a lot of salt. Not sure
why folks do this, but there you have it. The average per "serving" is
about 380 mg of sodium. That works out to a little over 1/8 teaspoon.
A serving is about 3 artichoke hearts, by my reckoning, as I've now
opened enough cans and measured by weight to find out.
A good alternative to canned is frozen artichoke hearts, but they're
less widely available. Trader Joe's sells them and there's only
50mg sodium in a 3/4 cup serving. If you find the frozen and use
them in this recipe you'll need about 2 cups. Add 1/8 teaspoon of
salt and taste. Depending on how much sodium is in the artichokes
you purchase, you may need 1/4 teaspoon.
This recipe is safe for Coumadin (warfarin) users and those with
GERD / Acid Reflux. It is gluten-free and low in sodium (salt), but
it contains cheese, so those who are lactose intolerant but can
tolerate cheeses may be able to enjoy it.
