Sesame Dipping Sauce

I needed a new sauce to dip my steamed artichoke leaves in that wasn't pure butter. Being a huge fan of butter, I felt a little like I was cheating on it, but after I tasted this sauce, the guilt just melted away. I think it can also be used as a Thai sauce for rolls and noodles because it reminded me of a peanut sauce that I have gotten in the past only not so obnoxiously peanutty.

Dipping Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons oriental sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

Whisk all ingredients together well and refrigerate.

Mix all ingredients well. Tastes best if chilled overnight.
