Summary:
Pair artichokes with these mayo-based dipping sauces, which have the perfect texture and consistency for dipping artichoke leaves. My favorite flavor combinations are balsamic-thyme and garlic-mustard, both of which provide a potent burst of flavor. They only take minutes to make using common pantry ingredients.

INGREDIENTS
(1) Balsamic Thyme Dip:
- 5 tablespoons
mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
balsamic vinegar - 2 cloves garlic, minced (Note 1)
- 1 teaspoon
dried thyme leaves
(2) Spicy Garlic Mustard Dip:
- 5 tablespoons
mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
dijon mustard (Note 2) - 2 cloves garlic, minced (Note 1)
- 1/4 teaspoon
ground cayenne
INSTRUCTIONS
- Stir Ingredients: Select either Balsamic Thyme Dip or Spicy Garlic Mustard Dip, then stir all of its ingredients in mixing bowl until very smooth.
