The special ingredient? Daisy Sour Cream Creamy Ranch Dip. It brings extra creaminess and richness to the dip, adding a complex depth of flavor not found in most one-note artichoke dips.

• Daisy Creamy Ranch Dip (1 cup): Contains the traditional spices and herbs of ranch dressing built in with delicious homemade tastes. It provides a creamy richness and depth of flavor to the dip.
• Mayonnaise (1/2 cup): Helps bind the other ingredients together.
• Softened Cream Cheese (4 ounces): A mild cheese that helps bind the dip together and adds a velvety texture to the dip.
• Shredded Mozzarella (1 1/3 cups): A mild stretchy cheese that is perfect for melting. It adds the classic cheesy goodness to the dip.
• Garlic Powder (1/2 teaspoon): Adds to the savory profile of the dip.
• Onion Powder (1 teaspoon): Adds a concentrated, punchy onion taste without adding texture of fresh onions and readily found in most spice cabinets.
• Frozen Chopped Spinach (1/2 cup, thawed and drained): This superfood is packed with vitamins and minerals. It adds a vibrant color to the dip.
• Drained and Chopped Artichoke Hearts (14 ounce can): The classic flavor that is mild, nutty, and earthy. They are great for creamy dips with just the right amount of bite.
• Freshly Grated Parmesan (1/4 cup): Best when freshly grated, it adds a nutty saltiness to the dip and is the classic finishing touch.

• Sautéed onions and garlic may be used in place of the powdered onion and garlic.
• Feel free to add additional spinach if you prefer more veggies.
• You can spice up your dip more by adding a dash of hot sauce, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or a few diced up jalapenos.
• No oven space? You can also make the dip in a slow cooker on low. Just be sure to give it a good stir every so often.
• Other cheeses may be substituted for all or part of the mozzarella such as pepper jack, fontina, asiago, Manchego, or parmesan.
• Drained canned crab and a dash of Old Bay Seasoning® may be added to make an even richer dip.
• If baking in cast iron, line with parchment paper to prevent discoloration of the artichokes.
• Any left-over dip may be reheated in the microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals until warm.
