Some like it hot. If that's you, then you'll adore this hot artichoke dip recipe that's spiked with harissa, a Tunisian hot chili paste that packs a kick (along with garlic and citrus flavors). Fresh mint, mayo, and sour cream cool things off, while artichokes, roasted red peppers, and almonds give each bite staying power thanks to their fiber and protein.

Score major points by transforming pizza into a cheese pull-palooza of a hot dip recipe. We recommend pepperoni, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and olives, but it's a breeze to customize this quick and easy appetizer recipe with whatever pizza toppings your crew loves. Or to make this a hot taco dip recipe, simply trade in taco seasoning-spiked ground beef and salsa for the pepperoni and marinara.
