1   Artichoke hearts - drained and chopped
1   Frozen chopped spinach - thawed and drained
1 cup 237mlMayonnaise
1 cup 146g / 5.1ozGrated parmesan cheese
2 1/2 cups 365g / 12ozCoarsely grated Monterey jack cheese
2   Garlic - minced

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, stirring until combined. Put in small baking dish. Dip may be prepared up to this point one day ahead and chilled, covered.

My notes: I made this for Daddy's party and it was WELL received. I used marinated artichoke hearts, thoroughly drained. I used frozen chopped spinach, but drained it for a long time in a colander, pressing out as much excess moisture as possible. I used real Hellman's mayonnaise--I don't think light or no-fat mayonnaise would work well in this. I used the fresh-shredded Parmesan rather than grated fresh. I don't think the "powdered and canned" variety would give very nice results. I used 6 large cloves of garlic.
