Thanks for the delicious recipe. I've made it twice for a big group, and it was a complete hit. The kids loved it as much as the adults. I used low fat cream cheese and low fat mayo, and it worked great. Thanks.

We love spinach artichoke dip and DD enjoyed the sun dried tomatoes but for me they didnt work to well. The dip itself was great and I enjoyed it a lot. Also sprinkled a bit of cheese on top and baked until bubbly and nicely browned. When cooled served with tortilla chips. Thank you Tink for a tasty snack!

This was quite delicious! I think it would be great to serve at parties, keeping it warm in one of those mini-crock pots. The flavor was really great and cheesy and with just enough saltiness to remind me of feta cheese, so pairing it with spinach turns out to be the perfect thing to do!!! Thanks for participating in the contest and I wish you the best of luck!!!
