After returning from Panama, I was excited to get back in the kitchen and start logging some mileage in Central Park. However, a hip flexor injury hindered my running plans. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I decided to make the best of the situation and explore some new recipes. One of my recent favorites is the lighter version of creamy Lemon Artichoke Dip. Read on to learn more about this delicious dip and how to make it.
Before leaving for Panama, I experienced a minor twinge in my hip flexor. I continued running, and the pain gradually increased. Despite my injury, I went ahead with a long run, worsening the pain. In the week leading up to my trip, I focused on rest, icing my hip, and taking anti-inflammatories. Though I felt better, the hip flexor twinge resurfaced after our last race in Panama. Upon returning to New York, I attempted an easy run but had to stop after a mile. While this setback isn't ideal for my Brooklyn Half training, I am hopeful for improvement in the coming weeks.
Often dips are considered indulgent and unhealthy, but there are numerous options that are both delicious and nutritious. I always keep variations like hummus, tzatziki, and white bean spread in my refrigerator. Currently, I'm loving the lighter take on creamy Lemon Artichoke Dip, which is perfect for spring.
