One of the very first appetizers that I made was this one. It’s crazy to think that I published this recipe back on my old blog back in 2006! How time flies so quickly. Anyway, this Spinach Artichoke Dip is easy and yummy. It makes a ton, but will be gone in no time. Perfect for the Christmas work parties, church potlucks, and much more.
Servings: 5 cups
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
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
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
few drops of Tabasco or your favorite hot sauce
1 cup of water chestnuts (optional – for some crunch)
Directions:
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.
