Artichoke dip with three ingredients: artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese and mayonnaise

This recipe is so easy.  A friend (Muge) introduced me to it.  I have since taken the dip to various Christmas and New Year dinners.  It is always a success.

There is some evidence that artichoke hearts help to reduce the blood glucose response after a meal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26310198/

A medium sized artichoke provides 30% of the reccomended daily amount of fibre.

Some consumption of dairy is reccomended as a source of calcium.  So, parmesan cheese is a good choice.

A commercial mayonnaise is acceptable given that 2/3 of the recipe is cheese and artichokes.  

Spread the dip on sourdough bread or oat crackers to further reduce the blood glucose response
