This appetizer is delicious, easy and pretty, too! Everyone who tries it asks for the recipe. The spread keeps for several days, so it's great for making in advance for a party. But once you put it out, it won't last long! -Maire Macy, Fort Collins, Colorado

PARTY ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP

Party Artichoke and Spinach Dip image

When I first experimented with this recipe it would yield half of this amount. However, it would be gone so fast when I served it that I had to increase the quantities. I am often asked for this recipe and it is a hit even with those who are not spinach lovers. We have also added crab meat to the leftover dip and broiled it on top of toast points.
