My kids and I just love it when we share a bowl or plate of finger food – before you know it, it’s gone! We love it even more when we have some Mexican snacks around; tacos, burritos, or salsa, to name a few. On weekends, I try my best to cook something new, or at least revise what I did before to make it taste like brand new. Once, I tried making artichoke salsa and they just couldn’t have enough of it. It was a surefire hit, not only because we go crazy over dips of any kind, but the taste was just so awesome you’d want to try it again and again. The artichokes lend that pungent taste while the olives complement to the smoky flavor of garlic and to the cool taste of tomatoes. Dip Gluten-free pita bread or chips, or sliced raw veggies in it, and what a snack-time blockbuster we’ve got!
