Recipe Notes
Dress it Up:
Take 1/2 to 1 cup frozen spinach. Thaw, and chop. Press in a colander (or with cheesecloth) to drain out excess juice. Stir in with artichokes and cheese. (If using fresh spinach, you will need to boil the spinach to wilt it down first, and then squeeze out the excess liquid, or it will release too much liquid into the dip.)
Add 1/2 to 1 diced roasted red bell pepper (excess liquid drained) with the artichokes and cheese and/or on top for garnishment.
Note: If adding large amounts of spinach or red pepper, I would recommend adding extra Parmesan cheese (probably 1/4 up to 1/2 cup). The one catch with adding these veggies is the excess liquid and so counterbalancing with additional cheese will help keep the dip a good consistency.
