Useful tips for Buffalo “Chicken” Dip

We used Sweet Baby Rays buffalo.

In the video, we followed the Nora’s recipe which called for lemon juice. But next time (and in the listed instructions here), we’re using a an entire peeled lemon because the Vitamix can handle it, there’s some bonus nutrition, and makes for a brighter taste than squeezed lemon from a plastic bottle.

Frozen artichokes are fine — just don’t use the oil-marinated ones.

Stores in the fridge for a few days. Reheats in the microwave well.
