No one will ever suspect that this creamy party classic is lower in fat than the much loved original. The combination of artichoke hearts, spinach and Parmesan cheese gives it great flavor. —Michelle Wentz of Fort Polk, Louisiana

Made this for a lunch at work. Very easy to prepare and everyone loved it. No one knew that it was a lighter version of the dip.

I've been looking for a good Spinach and Artichoke Dip and this was Perfect! Super Easy and Super Tasty! Will make again!

Okay, I'm giving 5 stars because this looks great. But, I've made this the same way, but without the red pepper, cheddar cheese, or onion. I simply use one jar of drained (and squeeze in a paper towel if you don't want the extra oil) marinated artichoke hearts, instead of water packed. People literally will eat this with a spoon when I make it, and skip the crackers! But, this recipe is really nice, because of the other additions.

I have made this numerous times for family functions and I always come home with an empty container! I also place the finished product in a 3 qt. slow-cooker on low to keep it warm and I serve it with either wheat thins or scoops tortilla chips. DELICIOUS!

Made this for a potluck. Everyone talked about how yummy it was. They were shocked it was low fat/low cal.

I've been making this recipe for years and love it. Even our young boys like it! I like the kick of red pepper flake as well, it can be adjusted to personal taste. This recipe is one of my go-to recipes.
