Mom's Dipping Sauce for Artichokes

(Makes enough for 2-3 artichokes, recipe from mom, remembered from when she showed me how to make it)

1/2 cup mayo (do not use light or fat free)
1/2 cup sour cream or light sour cream (do not use fat free)
1 1/2 - 2 T fresh lemon juice (or more, these days I'd use a bit more)

Whisk together mayo and sour cream, then whisk in lemon juice and serve with artichokes.

You need more sauce than you might imagine because there are a lot of little pieces of the artichoke to dip. Artichokes are also good cold with this sauce. Hot artichokes are also delicious served with melted butter if you're not on a diet!
