Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add artichokes and thyme and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until veggies begin to brown. Add spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until spinach is wilted. Remove skillet from heat.

  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine light mayonnaise, cheese wedges, and 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds to soften, then mix well. If needed, heat mixture in 15-second increments until cheeses are softened and easily mixed with mayonnaise.

  4. Add cheese mixture and lemon juice to sauteed vegetables and mix well. Spread dip into a small baking dish, top with remaining 1 tbsp of Parmesan cheese, and bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
