Artichoke Dipping Sauce Table of Contents
- Honey Mustard
- Chipotle Aioli
- Chive Caper Mayo
- Curry Mayo
- Peanut Sriracha Sauce
1. Honey Mustard Sauce
The one and only, this combination creates an artichoke dipping sauce that seems as though it was just made for artichokes.
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Mix together and serve.
2. Butter + Garlic
But of course.
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) salted butter
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan or microwave. Stir in minced garlic.
3. Butter + Lemon
Nice and subtle. The perfect flavor combo to bring out the very best of those delicious green buggers.
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan or microwave. Stir in lemon juice.
4. Chipotle Aioli
Kicky! Especiallygood with grilled artichokes.
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeds removed (unless you want heat galore) and chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon adobo sauce (from the can of chipotles)
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Mix together. Refrigerate for a couple of hours, then serve.
5. Chive-Caper Mayonnaise
This may be my very favorite. It’s amazing. Adapted from Bon Appetit
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoonschopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped drained capers
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Mix together and serve.
6. Greek Yogurt + Mint + Scallions
Refreshing!
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 4-5 fresh mint leaves, minced
- 2 scallions, minced, including green parts
Mix together. Let sit for a bit so the flavors get to mingle, then serve.
7. Mayonnaise + White Balsamic Vinegar
Ridiculously easy. Ridiculously delicious.
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
- Hefty pinch kosher salt
- Fresh ground pepper to taste.
Mix it all together and serve.
8. Mayonnaise + Curry
Intriguing, unexpected and surprisingly amazing with artichokes.
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- Pinch of cayenne (or more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
In a small bowl, mix together. Serve.
9. Mayonnaise + Soy Sauce
Super duper simple and surprisingly good.
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, depending on taste
In a small bowl, mix together and serve.
10. Peanut-Sriracha Sauce
A little Asian inspiration with a nice kick. It’s a little heavy-handed, but in a good way … why not?
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (may need more)
- 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup warm water
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together the following ingredients until well-incorporated, then serve. — That’s it! Now go … get dipping!

Perfect Post! I wish I could try all 10 at the same time. We should be getting artichokes any day now and I’m going to start thinking right now about which dip I’ll try first!

Thanks for putting this together! I added a little less mayo in a couple of the recipes, more garlic and substituted olive oil in the traditional butter, garlic lemon dip..

Love the variety! Still, I’m surprised not to see more flavorful butter dips — what about a chipotle-chili-honey-butter, or an italian-herb-butter?

I love artichokes and have recently become a huge fan of Greek yogurt. So…the first sauce I’m going to try is the Greek yogurt + Mint + Scallions! Wonderful recipes, thank you for sharing!

The sriracha sauce needs about a third of the water suggested in this recipe. Unless you want soup instead of sauce.
Thanks Karen /s

Yeah, this is my thought… I added more peanut butter but I’m afraid it will still be very runny. 🙁 🙁 🙁 I will try and cook it down a bit… fingers crossed!

Why would you ever separate your recipes with anything from Martha Stewart?
She has no integrity and deserves th be banned from all public spaces.

These are great ideas! We often use remoulade sauce, or just garlic butter, or garlic butter that’s not really butter LOL. I love the turmeric curry dip. We are having something you would not eat (rack of lamb) tonight, and it will go perfectly!

I tried the Mayo/curry recipe tonight and oh my it was delicious. The only alteration I made was to chop up the artichoke stems and sauté them with EVOO, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. I mixed that into the sauce and it was great. Will make again!
