Taking a few standard dip ingredients like cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise and marrying them with caramelized onions, asiago cheese and chopped artichoke heart make for a simply irresistible dip. The use of three different onion applications really brings forth the undeniable combination of sour cream and onion, while the use of artichokes brings an unexpected buttery and tart bite. This dip can be taken along to any picnic situation or set under the broiler for a few minutes for an ultra unctuous dipping experience; you can serve with your favourite chips and crisps or bright and crunchy vegetables.
