This artichoke salad is a unique way to eat up one of nature’s most beloved vegetables: artichoke hearts! Whether you eat it as a salad or use it as a dip, this dish is a healthy and flavorful addition to your summer menus! As an added bonus, it is low carb, Whole30 approved, and keto!
While I have a traditional Paleo hot artichoke dip, however this dip is just as delicious and healthy too!
It is perfect for hot weather days when an oven seems like too much bother….we’ve all been there on sweltering summer days!
I love how a few simple ingredients can marry and create something so divine. This artichoke tapenade has an Italian flare, and any guest would be happy to gobble this down as an appetizer or a low calorie salad. I love to eat it for a quick snack too, and since my husband won’t touch artichokes (silly man!) it means I get more for myself!
This is thrown together in 10 minutes, and does even better as it marinates in the fridge for a few hours. Enjoy!

Make Your Crostinis
- Slice your bread slices into halves or quarters as desired.
