Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20-30 minutes Serves: 12

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, soften

2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (14 ounce) can artichokes, drained and chopped

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, minced

¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drain spinach and place on several heavy duty paper towels. Working over the sink, squeeze all the extra moisture out of the spinach. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese until creamy. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Spoon prepared dip mixture into a 9x9 inch pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, or until dip is hot, bubbly and slightly browned on top.

Serve hot with pita chips, crackers or toasted bread.

NOTE: This recipe can easily be made with sauteed or steamed fresh spinach and boiled fresh artichokes.
