Fake 'BUTTER' and Lemon Sauce


The best sauce in the world for artichokes is Butter %26amp; Lemon Sauce. I substitute Butter Buds (at any grocery store, in packets of dry powder that you mix with liquid), mix it up, add lemon juice and a drop of hot sauce (just a drop!).

Being a former chef like the first recipe use light versions of mayonaisse, sour cream or yougart, low fat cream cheese and use aritchokes packed in water as apose to oil packed.





Spicing can be an issue to limit the salt content, use fresh herbs like oregano, garlic and use less cheese and more veggies, like greenonion or white onins and 2 cans of artichoke hearts.
