Lemon Butter Artichoke Dip

I have always eaten artichokes with lemon and butter. This is my favorite {and simplest} way to make a quick dip for one of my favorite vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• fresh lemon wedge or lemon slice {not necessary}
• snip of parsley, for garnish {if desired}

Melt butter {you can either do this on the stovetop in a small pan or in the microwave in a small microwave safe bowl}. In small dipping bowl, combine warmed melted butter and lemon juice. Add a fresh lemon wedge or slice in butter dip for presentation and taste. Top with a sprig of parsley {if desired}.

{Tip!} If microwaving butter, place a paper towel over bowl to avoid splattering. It should only take 20 to 30 seconds to melt. This recipe will make for one artichoke. You may want to double recipe if making two.
