10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
13.75 oz. can artichoke bottoms, well drained and diced
8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
few drops of Tabasco or your favorite hot sauce
1 cup of water chestnuts (optional - for some crunch)
Instructions
Squeeze all the moisture out of the spinach.
Squeeze out the juice in the artichokes and water chestnuts. Give the chop water chestnuts a rough chop.
(I ground up the artichokes in my food processor to prevent getting big chunks in one bite. I think it enables everything to blended to have a more uniform taste.)
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well until blended.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 24.
