\"Artichoke,<\/a><\/p>\n

Chicago (and much of the midwest) was graced with a 73-degree, sunshiny day\u00a0this past Monday, and it was glorious. The birds were chirping, the warm breezes were blowing, and the runners of Chicago cast their treadmills aside in exchange for a fine piece of asphalt beneath their\u00a0feet.<\/p>\n

Despite the abrupt return to chilly, sub-40\u00b0\u00a0temperatures, one day like that and my mind is set on spring. Spring clothes. Spring colors. Spring vegetables.<\/p>\n

\"Artichoke,<\/p>\n

This might look like ordinary hummus, but it's packed with the extraordinary flavors of spring veggies. Leeks and artichokes are the guest stars in this homemade\u00a0white bean dip. They're saut\u00e9ed with a bit of olive oil and can either be pulsed into the hummus so that their texture is still detectable or blended in to disperse their flavor. I opted for the latter option because I love super-smooth hummus, but you really can't go wrong.<\/p>\n

You'll need just 7 ingredients (minus s + p) to whip up this hummus, and even with the added work of chopping and saut\u00e9ing the veggies, you'll still be in and out of the kitchen in under 30 minutes. Not too shabby for a\u00a0dolled up classic.<\/p>\n
