I really love the spinach and artichoke dip that T.G.I.Friday's has, and I love that they sell it in store, but it is kind of expensive and is not that big of a portion. It is great to have a recipe that I can make for parties and such.

Loved it, have been looking for a good recipe for my go to dip and looks like i found it thanks! I used regular sour cream because anything light has more bad ingredients in it, the less ingredients the better)

I make this all the time but I never use anything low fat, less fat or skim. My neighbor made it this way and asked me to compare it to mine. No comparison. Hers was a little gloppy and had an off putting taste and texture. Mine is creamy and the texture is heavenly. Besides....I also use Hellman's mayo in mine as well.
