Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dip, consider substituting half of the mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you're looking for a lighter version, use low-fat mayonnaise. You can also add a splash of lemon juice for extra brightness. Ensure the artichoke hearts are well-drained to avoid a watery dip. For added flavor, try incorporating a bit of chopped fresh spinach or artichoke in the mix.
