Artichoke Spinach dip

Hi,

Artichoke Spinach dip is one of a cheesy dips which is my personal favourite and usually loved by all. A creamy cheese base with the goodness of Spinach and artichokes,a bit of garlic and of course topped with cheese, baked until golden and bubbly.

First time we had this in Boston in a Restaurant and loved it....I hope you will love it too.A very easy recipe to make for a party or a gettogether or just to munch on with crackers/bread /tortilla chips on a boring day.

Firstly, Artichokes are thistles which is a family of flowering plants characterised by prickly leaves.The outside of the bulbs which is green is not meant to be eaten.Only the inside soft part ie the heart(which we usually get in a jar of store bought marinated artichokes ) is edible. Plus they are packed with nutrients and antioxidants.Rich in fiber,Vitamin C and K and folate.

Secondly Spinch,which does not need introduction,a leafy vegetable rich in iron, fiber, Vitamin A and E.

So this isnt just a casual cheese dip...but totally delicious, filled with some goodness of these vegetables. 

This recipe requires sour cream, mozarella cheese,cream cheese, Eggless Mayonnaise and marinated artichokes which are easily available in stores.

I have used all organic ,grassfed diary products...It can also be made vegan by choosing the alternative vegan options.Also I have used organic eggless Mayonnaise.You can make just a spinach dip if artichokes are not available.It tastes just delicious.It can be stored in the Refridgerator for 2 to 3 days if you are lucky enough to have some leftover to store.Just heat it in Oven for 2 minutes and relish again.
