Cheesy Artichoke Dip by Jean Carper image

Here's an easy, lower-fat version of warm artichoke-cheese dip. In new research, artichoke hearts tested surprisingly high in antioxidant activity -- even more per cup than strawberries. Garlic and chives are high in antioxidants, too, and fat-free cottage cheese helps keep the fat and calorie counts down.

I would have liked the dip to be a bit cheesier, but overall it was still very good.
