Put thawed and drained frozen spinach* in food processor and pulse a few times to chop. Add artichokes and pulse a few more times. The mixture should be chunky.

    This dip is good!! I made the dip using fat free cream cheese and took out the artichokes. It tastes just like the "normal" spinach dip that has alot of calories but this has much less!!!! Thanks - 4/11/09

    Tastes great! So good it's hard to stop eating it....which is actually bad, b/c the fat adds up quick! - 3/27/09

    Made this tonight for the Superbowl....this recipe is awesome! I actually love the little spicy kick that the red pepper flakes gives it. I put this in my "Little Dipper" crock pot to keep warm for a couple hours too, still tasted great! - 2/1/09

    This sounds really yummy!
    One thing...maybe I missed it somewhere but it says it makes 20 servings but how much is considered one serving? A tablespoon? 1/4 cup? I don't see that anywhere. - 6/16/09

    While it sounds great, like the ones I have had before, with 20 servings, it seems like a dip that isn't a good thing to have around. - 4/24/09

    It was easy and fun to make. I chose to pick apart the spinach and artichokes. Way too cream-cheesy for me. Maybe can substitute some sour cream? Maybe cause I didn't add parm? I chose to put it on top. - 5/17/09
