How to Make Artichoke Spinach Sun Dried Tomato Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  4. Stir in 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 5 ounces fresh spinach (chopped), 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped), and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. At this point, you can cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or wrap tightly in 2 layers of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months.

  8. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
