Artichokes aren’t the most intuitive veggie to cook (we have a whole guide here if you need tips) but once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll be enjoying this special seasonal treat all spring long. One of the best ways is to keep things simple, serving the steamed artichokes nearly-whole and simply dipping and eating the leaves. This zippy lemon yogurt dip would be a great application for your favorite plain vegan Greek yogurt or other dairy-free yogurt.
