Ingredients

For the Creamy Base

8 oz Cream Cheese Provides a creamy base; be sure to soften it for a smooth mixture.
1/4 cup Sour Cream Adds tang and creaminess; substitute with light sour cream for a lighter option.
1/4 cup Mayonnaise Enhances creaminess and flavor; you can use light mayonnaise to cut down on calories.

For the Flavor

1 clove Garlic (minced) Adds savory aroma and flavor; fresh garlic gives the best taste.
2/3 cup Finely Shredded Parmesan Cheese Delivers a rich, nutty flavor; opt for freshly grated for the best melt.
1/2 cup Finely Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Provides meltiness and stretch; fresh mozzarella works wonders in this dip.
Pepper To taste; this adds just the right amount of mild heat.

For the Veggies

14 oz Quartered Artichoke Hearts (drained) Offers unique flavor and texture; make sure to squeeze out excess liquid to avoid a watery dip.
6 oz Frozen Spinach (thawed and drained) Adds color and nutrition; feel free to replace with fresh spinach that’s been steamed and chopped.
