Name: Dipping Sauce for Artichokes
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: ¼ cup mayonnaise; ½ clove garlic, finely chopped; 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice; 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh basil; 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

A boyfriend's mother taught me this great dipping sauce for artichokes and asparagus. It's somewhat like aioli. Replace dried basil for fresh, and garlic salt for the garlic. If you do use dried basil, cut the original amount in half. Use low-fat mayonnaise if you like.

This was a nice change from my usual dipping sauce for artichokes. I would use this when I have fresh basil though I still think my favorite herb to use is tarragon. Lovely change though. UPDATE: I came back today to up this from four to five stars. The flavors of this sauce only improve with a day in the refrigerator. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!

Pretty tasty but I prefer my own dipping sauce. I did add a dash or two of Tabasco sauce and it tasted much better. Served with Elegant Artichokes.

Love it!!! I use greek yogurt instead and left out the Worcestershire sauce. Yum!

So, this is a quick aioli. I didn't have eggs, so found this.  This is a great quick fix!  My additions:  added a lot more garlic and added 2 tbsp. of white wine. I also used parsley.   It depends on taste preference.  I did five stars because it only takes a little personal preference to make it wonderful..a good cook will know how to make this their own great sauce!

I made this tonight. So yummy. I was out of lemon but had lime so I used that. Plus I didn't have fresh basil so I used dried basil. Turned out great.

Loved it - loved it more with a dash of tabasco.

Nope I only ate about 5 leaves of the artichoke and had to go make melted butter with lemon for the rest.  We like stuff that will run off, not stick so heavy to it.  I think the Worcestershire was a bit too much also, even though we love that stuff.  I'll keep looking for a butter or olive oil based sauce.

Delicious! Easy to make and an absolute compliment to an artichoke.

I followed the recipe as written and we were not huge fans.  It was not terrible, but I didn't like it enough to use it for my entire artichoke.  I cannot pinpoint exactly why we didn't like it; I suppose it is just one of those things that some people enjoy and others do not!

This is a nice change from the usual melted butter or thousand island dressing. I add more garlic. Yum!

I really loved this, added more lemon and just a dash of the worcestershire  and dried basil on hand.  I really enjoyed it and will use this again.  I would love to try greek yogurt for lower fat.  Perfect pop of citrus lemony brightness for dippin!

This went wonderfully with grilled artichoke. Everyone seemed to love it, from children to adults.

This wasn't fully rounded enough for me. Followed the instructions exactly, even used fresh basil from the garden. Just didn't have the right taste.

This was a great combination, but watery. Do you really use the 1-1/2 T. lemon juice?

I am a creature of habit and usually grab the mayo as a default dip. But since viewing and preparing this artichoke dipping sauce, its become a staple now, and so easy to prepare. It is incredibly tasty and refreshing. It’s my new staple!

Excellent blending of flavors. I used fresh ingredients and I will not change a thing about this recipe! I didn't think it was possible to love artichokes more than I did, but  the taste pops with this dipping sauce!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I didn't have any Worcestershire sauce so I had to do without and it still tasted great.  Also it tastes even better  when you make the mayo from scratch vs. store bought.

Love this dipping sauce, it's so easy.  Excellent as a summer dip for veggies.  I sometimes substitute half the mayo for plain yogurt to cut calories.

Excellent choice! As Worcester was missing I replaced it with a spoon of salted soya, also switched basil to fresh coriander, for a delicious result.

Simplest and by far the best dipping sauce for Artichokes :
Mix Mayonaise NOT Manaise, with Soy Sauce to taste. Add a small amount of water to thin as you like.

It was interesting but I doubt I ever make it again. I wasn't too crazy for the flavor and it was not thick enough.

My wife and I really like artichokes and was looking for a dipping sauce that was a little different. This dip really hit the spot!!
