Note

For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of dry white wine or lemon juice to the mayonnaise mixture.

If using frozen artichoke hearts, ensure they are completely thawed and well-drained to prevent a watery dip.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF until warm.

This dip can also be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
