DIPPING SAUCE FOR ARTICHOKES
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right artichokes: Fresh artichokes are best for this dip. Look for artichokes that are heavy for their size and have tightly closed leaves.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: To prepare the artichokes, trim the stems and remove the tough outer leaves. Cut the artichokes in half and scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center.
- Use a good quality basil pesto: The basil pesto is a key ingredient in this dip. Use a pesto that is made with fresh basil and olive oil. You can also make your own pesto using a food processor.
- Don't overcook the artichokes: The artichokes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked artichokes will become tough and stringy.
- Let the dip cool slightly before serving: The dip will thicken as it cools. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Artichoke and basil dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, savory flavor, and vibrant green color, this dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. Serve it with your favorite crackers, chips, or vegetables. Enjoy!
