One of the best yet! Though i transposed my ingredients and put 1 1/2 TBS worcestershire sauce and 1 tsp lemon at first, i just added more lemon which was yummy. I also did 3 cloves of garlic since we love the flavor and didnt have to breath on anyone. Will definitely be making this one again
I followed this recipe exactly to serve with artichokes last night. It was delicious and a huge hit at our house. My son woke up the next morning and asked for it again as he had been dreaming about it! It would also work as a veggie dip or sauce for seafood too.
I’ve never had steamed artichokes so had no idea what to expect. Made this a couple hours ahead. This IS really good but not sure the best for artichokes Then again; I’m a newbie so take that with a grain of salt. I have plenty left so I think I will use as an aioli for some grilled chicken sandwiches or maybe even a burger Thanks Andrea! Glad I tried this!
Great taste!
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.
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!
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.
Yum!
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.
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!!
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.
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.
This is a nice change from the usual melted butter or thousand island dressing. I add more garlic. Yum!
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!
This went wonderfully with grilled artichoke. Everyone seemed to love it, from children to adults.
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!
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.
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.
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!
Loved it – loved it more with a dash of tabasco.
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!
