    I am insane about artichokes - bought a huge bunch for myself for Christmas Eve, lol - no one else in my family loves them like me, so I figured it was *my* treat. I don't, however, use any sort of dip. Plain is delish! Another fav way of mine is stuffing them w/seasoned Italian breadcrumbs before steaming, but that will add more calories & carbs (unless you can figure it into your daily intake).

    I like the Greek yogurt idea! Could season the yogurt w/garlic & other seasonings. Mmm...

    Well personally, I use earth balance to dip it in because its vegan. Check out the nutritional value through. Cholesterol free(cuz its vegan) and i bet a lot lower in fat and other bad stuff than most butters and margarine- i dunno if you're just counting calories through.
