Mold and Mildew Dip Aka Spinach Artichoke Dip

This is one of my favorite dips to serve for dinner or as a snack. I like using homemade mayonnaise, but you can use your favorite mayonnaise. Use Parmesan, Romano, or Asiago cheese in this dip, but make sure that it is freshly grated for the best flavor. The green color and odd consistency of this dip make it perfect for Halloween, especially with the addition of some green food coloring.
