Artichoke Dipping Sauces

1. Plain old melted butter. My favorite. Or add anything you like to the butter: curry, garlic powder, a few drops of lemon juice, minced dried dill, parsley...

2. Mayo. I haven't tried this and it sounds disgusting to me, but lots of Americans seem to like it.

3. CHILI MAYO DIP
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chili sauce
4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
dash of cayenne pepper

4.CREAMY THAI DIP
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

5. HONEY MUSTARD DIP
¼ cup prepared mustard
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey

1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon each chopped parsley and chives (or green onions, green part only)
¼ teaspoon chopped tarragon

8. PESTO MAYONNAISE
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons or more pesto sauce (frozen is best for color)

9. CURRY MAYONNAISE

Melt butter in a small pan. Add curry powder. Bubble gently for a minute or two over low heat to eliminate any bitterness from the curry powder. Cool and add to mayo.

¼ cup soy sauce (more or less to taste)
A dash of garlic powder
