Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
Ensure the frozen spinach is completely thawed. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to prevent a watery dip.
-
Chop the drained artichoke hearts into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
-
Stir all ingredients together until thoroughly mixed and creamy.
-
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish or heat-proof serving bowl.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
-
Alternatively, you can microwave the mixture in a microwave-safe dish for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through.
-
Serve warm with your favorite bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Note
This recipe yields a large quantity, making it perfect for parties or gatherings. If making for a smaller group, consider halving the ingredients.
For a creamier texture, you can add a block of softened cream cheese to the mixture before baking.
Make sure to drain the spinach thoroughly; excess moisture is the enemy of a good dip.
You can substitute fresh spinach if desired, but wilt and squeeze it dry first.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
