Hot Artichoke Dip – Spinach and Regular

This recipe was created by Karen Wiens on 1/29/15.

When Stella visited our family in NH, she fell in love with her Grammy’s hot artichoke dip. She decided to come up with a vegan version so we could all enjoy it. It’s great as a snack, side dish or appetizer. We like to dip veggies, whole wheat baguette slices and pita wedges in it. This recipe has extra garlic for kick. Serve it up hot and bubbly for a nice contrast to the cold, crunchy veggies
