Helpful hints.
If canned or jarred artichokes in water are used instead of frozen, look for the lowest sodium brand. Rinse well to help reduce sodium.
Try this dip on toasted slices of baguette, crisp celery or with your favorite low-sodium crackers.
Tabasco is one of the lowest sodium hot pepper sauces.
