I LOVE spinach & artichoke dip. We went to a restaurant here last night, John Harvard's, and they have THE BEST spinach & artichoke dip. I got my SO to try it and he actually likes it. He's not a fan of spinach and he's never really wanted to try artichokes. I love spinach boiled with nothing on it no butter no salt Nothing! I love marinated artichoke hearts. So if anyone has a good recipe for spinach & artichoke dip they'd like to share that would be greatly appreciated. I prefer it to not be spicy. The one we had last night had a creamy sauce almost tasted cheesy. Thanks! :D

here's one I found online: http://www.copykat.com/asp/copykatrecipe.asp?recipe=262

I've had it at Olive Garden before and it's not spicy at all. Have fun :)

Thank you! Do you think I can substitute or keep the mayo out? :)

I have one I can look up and type in. I make it for the holidays every year--it's so good and it is cheesy a bit. Do you eat crab? LOL If you like hot dips and eat crab, I have an amazing hot crab dip recipe too!

Hi,
I'm not a big fan of the crab but I'll give it a try. The rest of my family will eat it if i bring it for the holidays. Thank you for replying to my post. I can't wait to make your spinach & artichoke dip. the cheesier the better lol :D

Okay, well, noticing my artichoke one has a LOT of mayo! LOL! It's really good though--I don't taste the mayo in it. These are both 50's/60's classics from Betty Crocker's Holiday Appetizers, Dec. 1999. Blast from the Past chapter.

Creamy Spinach Artichoke Dip

1c mayo or salad dressing (we use light)
1c freshly grated parmesan (yum!)
1 can (14 oz) artichoke heaert quarters, drained and coarsely chopped
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach (thawed, squeezed and drained)
1/2c chopped red bell pepper (nice for color but I've left it out if I couldn't get them)
1/4c shredded Jack or Mozzarella (I use a little more)

1. Heat oven to 350. Mix mayo and parm. Stir in hearts, spinach and bell pepper.

2. Spoon into 1qt casserole or baking dish. Sprinkle with Jack.
