I make this dip ALL of the time! It is by far the absolute best version I have ever had. Kills the restaurant competition. I usually double the garlic because I love it, and I add at least an extra half cup of parmesan cheese. Like others, I use marinated artichoke hearts, but if you don't have them just squeeze a little extra lemon in if you want more zing. I never understood why tortilla chips are served with this type of dip, since it's not Mexican fare. I cut pita bread into wedges, brush with olive oil, and toast in the oven for dipping. I have also used oiled/toasted baguettes. The recipe makes a large amount, so if you're not going to use it all it freezes very well. I never get that opportunity, because it is DEVOURED every time I make it! One of my all time fave recipes!

This was my first attempt at artichoke dip and my only question is this....why didnt i start making this years ago? I have always ordered it in restaurants and this recipe is easy and at least equally as good. I did use suggestions from others to halve the cream cheese and mayo and add sour cream. I think the key is to use fresh grated parm. served with blue corn chips for a delicious appetizer. Was well recieved by my guests.

I went to make this dip and I forgot the cream cheese. I did add some chopped garlic. Brought it to a party and everybody loved it. Even without the cream cheese. I am going to make it again and add the cheese this time-probably just 8oz.

This recipe is excellent as is....not sure why everyone is changing it! I let the cream cheese soften for a couple hours and then use an electric hand mixer to blend the cream cheese with the lemon juice and mayo - then just stir in the rest of the ingredients.

I made this dip a couple of weekends ago for a football party. It was great, but I did make some changes as mentioned by other reviewers. I reduced the cream cheese by half (only 1-8 oz package) and reduced the mayo just slightly, and added a few dollops of sour cream. I also reduced the amount of garlic slightly. I did not marinate my artichokes, just chopped them up and used them plain, straight out of the can, and the recipe was still great and had plenty of flavor. I used less parmesan cheese and instead I added a couple handfuls of shredded italian cheese blend (Mozzerella, provolone, asiago, etc). Then I sprinkled more of the shredded cheese blend on top. It made a bubbly, cheesy top layer that was yum! You could use whatever kind of cheese you have on hand. It was delicious! I served it with little mini-french bread slices that I sprinkled with olive oil and garlic powder and lightly toasted in my toaster oven. Mmmmm!!! I will be making it again this week to bring to a function at my school...I think all my fellow teachers will enjoy!

Perfect recipe, a real success last saturday night. My friends loved it and left with the recipe. As suggested, I used less mayo and a bit more cream. Also used Ricotta instead of cream cheese (healthier).

I love love love this dip. I finely chopped up one red and one green bell pepper into it to give it some nice color and crunch. I also sprinkled some cheese over the top so it would melt on to the top. It's gooey and fattening and fabulous.

This is most requested for gatherings and I've made it many times. I have never changed a thing. Thanks for a great recipe! Leftovers (when there are any) go great on grilled chicken.

This recipe is absolutely fantastic. I've made it twice now exactly as stated for various parties and I'm just getting around to reviewing it. The lemon juice is essential. I may try adding a few drops of hot sauce just to give it a little kick.

It is great! Sometimes I use artichokes and sometimes it's just spinach dip. I do use half the mayo and half sour cream.

Made this for a potluck and it was a hit. I skipped the lemon juice, because I didn't have any, added a 1/4 cup of sour cream and real shredded parmesan cheese. I used two cloves of garlic instead of the three and the dip had plenty of garlic "punch". Maybe if my family is really nice, I'll make it for them.
