Ingredients Needed:
- Artichoke Hearts: I use canned artichoke hearts out of convenience, but you could use fresh cooked artichoke hearts if you have them.
- Frozen Spinach: thaw first, and squeeze out the excess liquid. See recipe notes for how to substitute fresh spinach.
- Mayonnaise
- Sour Cream
- Cream Cheese: allow it to come to room temperature so it mixes in smoothly. Low fat or Neufchatel cheese would also work.
- Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated tastes best and melts smoothly.
- Garlic

- Spinach Artichoke Dip with Fresh Spinach: Cook about 10 ounces of fresh spinach in a skillet with a little drizzle of olive oil.
