With the Artichoke Festival coming up it's hard not to crave these awesome veggies! Who doesn't love Artichokes right, but it seems like everyone has their favorite dip they just can't do without. I think most people either pick mayonnaise or butter, personally its' my Great-Grandpa's creation which is a blend of lemon, olive oil and mustard (sounds crazy I know but it's delish!) What are some of your favorite dippers for Artichokes? I'd love to hear about it!
