A KICK AND A TWIST ARTICHOKE DIP
Some warm cream cheese-based dips are too salty for me. This one has a nice balance. I developed the recipe for a co-worker's going-away party. Adding black pepper or lemon pepper can add more zing if you want it. -Susan Hein, Burlington, Wisconsin

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.
ARTICHOKE DIP
At a previous job whenever the party sign up list got to me I was already filled in to bring this every time! It can be easily halved, but I recommend using only full fat ingredients, it does NOT turn out well with light or nonfat products.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Artichokes: If you can find them, fresh artichokes are the best choice for this dip. They have a more delicate flavor and texture than canned or frozen artichokes.
- Trim the Artichokes Properly: When trimming the artichokes, be sure to remove all of the tough outer leaves and the choke (the fuzzy center). This will make the dip smoother and more enjoyable to eat.
- Use a Food Processor: A food processor is the easiest way to chop the artichokes and other ingredients for the dip. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take a little longer.
- Don't Overcook the Artichokes: When cooking the artichokes, be careful not to overcook them. They should be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch to them.
- Use High-Quality Cheese: The type of cheese you use can make a big difference in the flavor of the dip. Use a good-quality Parmesan cheese and a creamy, flavorful Monterey Jack cheese.
- Season to Taste: Be sure to taste the dip before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
Conclusion:
Artichoke dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be served with a variety of dippers, such as pita chips, crackers, or vegetable crudités. It's also a great make-ahead dish, so you can prepare it in advance and then bake it just before serving. With its creamy, cheesy texture and tangy flavor, artichoke dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
