Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 ounce) Artichoke hearts, drained and chopped Not marinated
  • 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup Plain Greek-style yogurt
  • ½ cup Grated parmesan cheese Packed
  • ¼ cup Real mayonnaise
  • 1 medium Carrot, grated
  • 1 small Red pepper, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Finely minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients - Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Drain the artichoke hearts and chop them into smaller pieces. Rinse and chop the fresh spinach. Grate the carrot, dice the red pepper, and finely mince the onion and garlic.
  • Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, chopped spinach, and grated carrot. These ingredients will form the base of your spinach dip.
  • Step 3: Add Creamy Components - Next, add in the plain Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, and real mayonnaise. Stir well until all the base ingredients are fully combined with the creamy ingredients.
  • Step 4: Flavor It Up - Now it’s time to introduce the flavors. Add the diced red pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold in these ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
  • Step 5: Chill and Serve - Once everything is well incorporated, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to a serving dish. For the best flavor, allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
