Honey Soy Artichoke Dip

I have to admit, artichokes aren't exactly on top of my food list, however it's probably due to the way it's prepared. They're rather fiddly to work with so I usually get them in jars and have them with salads. In Rome, when they're in season, deep fried artichokes are a speciality dish which is definitely worth checking out if you get the chance. In this instance, I created this dip as I was playing with a vegan mayo recipe, and this is great for using as a general dip or spread on toast, or as a condiment for wraps and even versatile enough to use as a dressing. 

This makes quite a large quantity, about 4 cups, but it's easy to refrigerate, however you can always half the recipe, or make the mayo, and then use halve the rest to make a smaller quantity so you have some mayo as well. The artichokes I got in a normal grocery store, and they're in brine. You can get them in oil, but as the mayo recipe already contains oil it's not really necessary. The olive oil flavour can be strong so if you want a milder taste you can always use canola oil instead. For those who do not want to use honey, maple syrup is a good substitute. 

I love using this dip in a lettuce cup with grilled tempeh, kale and avocado. My husband spreads it on toast and add toppings. Other times I've just used it as a side dish as seen in the picture, a nice addition to avocados with balsamic glaze. It's light but filling and delicious! 


Honey Soy Artichoke Dip


Vegan Mayo
3/4 cups soy milk
3/4 cups olive oil
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt

3 cans artichoke (roughly 6 heads)
2 TBS raw honey
1 TBS tamari
4 tsp onion powder
2 tsp apple cider vinegar


1. Put all the mayo ingredients except for the oil inside a blender and mix thoroughly, then slowly add in the oil and blend well

2. Add in the rest of the ingredients but turn it to a low - med setting so that it's chunky and not completely obliterated, you can always turn the speed up to reach the consistency you desire

    "I am not what happened to me,
    I am what I choose to become"
    Carl Gustave Jung

    I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.

    I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself.

    I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now.

    Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies.

    I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw  desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can.

    I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey...
