I love everything about this easy artichoke dipping sauce! It’s quick and easy to make and you can serve it smooth or chunky.

It seems that people love to dip artichoke leaves in either garlic butter or mayonnaise. If you want to switch things up a bit, then you’ll want to try this dip with marinated artichoke hearts, Parmesan cheese and garlic. It turns plain ol mayonnaise into something really special to serve with cooked artichokes.

How To Make Artichoke Dipping Sauce

This is an amazing dip with marinated artichoke hearts, real mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese and garlic, and it comes together in about 5 minutes start-to-finish.

1. Drain marinated artichoke hearts. Drain the marinated artichoke hearts, but don’t pat them dry. 
2. Combine the ingredients. Combine the artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients until the consistency is mostly smooth with some flecks of artichoke hearts.
3. Chill. Refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors blend. Then dig in!

Tips For Making Dipping Sauce For Artichokes

• Blend the ingredients longer to achieve a creamier consistency, or only pulse the ingredients several times for a chunkier dip.
• If you don’t want added tang to the sauce, then omit the lemon juice.
• Add a teaspoon of marinade from the jar instead of adding lemon juice.
• Use half mayonnaise and half Greek yogurt (don’t add lemon juice because Greek yogurt is already tart).
• Add a tablespoon or two more parmesan cheese (if you like a little extra like I do).
• Stir in a tablespoon of finely minced curly parsley just before serving for a pop of color.

Serving Suggestions

This creamy sauce not only makes an amazing dipping sauce for artichokes, but it is so versatile (and so delicious) that there are many other ways to use it.

• Dipping Sauce. Serve as a dipping sauce for artichokes, Brussels sprouts, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, baked zucchini rounds, carrot and celery sticks, French fries and potato chips.
• Aioli. Blend the ingredients for a creamier consistency and serve as an amazing tasting aioli to slather on sandwiches, wraps and burgers, or use instead of plain mayonnaise to make deviled eggs with.

How To Store Leftovers

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator where it will last up to 7 days. The flavors just get better after a day or two.
