Warm Artichoke Dip with Scallions and Jalapenos image

There are so many versions of hot artichoke dip. But using cream cheese for part of the mayo makes this one different. Serve it with crisp raw veggies, pita chips or baguette slices or maybe melba toast or crackers.

2 scallions, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tsp coarsely chopped pickled jalapeno pepper
