'Tis the Season

One of the best vegetables that summer brings in season are artichokes.  It seems like every time I walk around the grocery store there is a special on them and I just can't resist picking up a few.  They are so easy to prepare and are fun to eat!  They are a great source of folic acid, dietary fiber and Vitamin C, but their nutritional benefits are easily compromised with the traditional sauces that are usually served with them.  I like to serve this healthy dipping sauce with it that is full of fresh flavor and health benefits too!


Yogurt-Dill Dipping Sauce

Ingredients
1/2 cup Fat Free Greek Yogurt
1 tablespoon Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Dill
1/2 teaspoon Tarragon
1/8 teaspoon fresh chopped Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard or Trader Joe's Garlic Mustard Sauce

Directions
Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl.  Serve!
