Creamy Artichoke Dip

Equipment

Jane's Krazy Mixed Up Salt is a must-have for this recipe.
Hellman's Real Mayonnaise is the go-to choice for its creamy texture and flavors.
Duke’s Real Mayonnaise is an excellent substitute.

Ingredients

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese softened
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts drained and chopped
1 cup real mayonnaise
1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder optional

Instructions

Place the cream cheese in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, or until softened enough to stir easily.
Add the drained and chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly until evenly combined.
Microwave on high for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until hot throughout and bubbling around the edges. Microwave times may vary. (If you prefer baking, see notes below.)
Transfer to a serving bowl, if desired, and garnish with chopped artichoke hearts, sliced scallions, or fresh herbs.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

For oven method: Transfer the prepared mixture to a lightly greased 9-inch baking dish and bake at 350°F for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. The oven method works especially well when you're already preparing other appetizers.
